Abstract: This article analyzes the impacts of objective (duration, conditions, demographics) and subjective (preferences, attitudes, etc.) factors on well-being in transportation. We rely on an exploratory survey carried out in 2017 and 2018 on the daily trips of 126 students (608 trips) toward their place of studies at Paris-Saclay. Using a questionnaire accessible from a smartphone, participants were asked to describe their daily trip (duration, conditions, activities, etc.), and give a rate after each trip. The results confirm the negative effect of travel time for trips longer than 80 minutes, and a time loss aversion effect. Difficult transport conditions (delays, space, noise, etc.) have also negative impacts on travelers' well-being. Finally, some activities realised on smartphones (music, videos, etc.) affect travelers' satisfaction, because they are interesting or necessary (music), or performed to pass the time in transports (games, videos). If usual travelers seem to be resigned by the trip duration, they seem to be more sensitive to unfavorable transport conditions as well as certain activities carried out while traveling.
