contents Urban mobility in developing countries, particularly in cities like Cali, Colombia, faces multifaceted challenges influenced by socioeconomic factors and the distinct characteristics of transport users Despite motorcycles emerging as a prevalent mode, their impact remains underexplored in the literature. This study employs extensive survey data collection, descriptive and cluster analysis, enabling an understanding of mode choice behaviors. Comparative analyses reveal significant relationships between transport choices and variables such as socio-economic status and age. Cluster analysis unveiled distinct behavior patterns among Cali's urban transport users. Identifying groups with similar preferences and perceptions enhanced comprehension of diverse user needs, helping to understand travel behavior within the urban transport context. This study contributes to close knowledge gap insight into the intricate landscape of urban transport in developing countries. The findings offer a foundation for informed policy development, emphasizing the importance of considering socioeconomic factors, travel preferences, and the prevalence of motorcycles in crafting effective urban strategies.
