### Correspondence Analysis for Alternative Modes of Public Transport  
We also evaluated the obtained data using a correspondence analysis. This was performed by using the SPSS 25 statistical analysis tool. The range of data in the questionnaire was wide, but only a subset of statistically significant associations is shown in the results. In this article, we set out the following three hypotheses. Table 5 demonstrates that there were statistically significant associations (dependences) between the purposes of use (the reasons of the choice) of shared scooters and the region, as opposed to with shared bicycles. In addition, we found that there was a statistically significant association (dependence) between the purposes of use and the reasons for the choice for both alternative means based on the Pearson chi-square test (\(p<0.001\)). Correspondence maps were used show these statistically significant associations. Figure 4 shows that residents of Bratislava mainly used shared scooters to commute to school or work. On the other hand, entertainment and moving to bus or rail stations were the main reasons for using a shared scooter in the Nitra, Kosice, and Trencin regions. The residents in Zilina used shared scooters for personal needs, such as visiting the theatre, cinema, library, and others, unlike in other regions. Figure 5 reveals that the regions differed in terms of the preferred reasons for choosing a shared scooter. As can be seen, speed and health were typical as the preferred reasons in the Zilina and Nitra regions. Relaxation was important as a factor in choosing a shared scooter in several regions, such as the Trnava, Presov, and Trencin regions. On the other hand, Kosice considered shared scooters as a good choice of an alternative mode of transport to select due to their easy availability in the city. On the other hand, residents in the Slovak capital chose scooters for their price. \begin{table}

Table 5: Pearson chi-square test. Figure 6 shows that speed was typical as a selection factor for users of shared scooters in order to move for personal needs, such as to visit the theatre, cinema, libraries, and others. In other words, users preferred shared scooters for a quick move to the city center. On the other hand, the availability of a shared scooter was important for users going to work or school. We found that health and price were important factors for users who used shared scooters as a secondary means of transport to bus and train stations. Moreover, health was probably an important factor for passengers who avoided personal contact in other means of transport during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
