Literature Review
The literature review of this article is approximately comprehensive. It is suggested to increase the review of research methods.
Methodology
(1)About the part of information interaction to explore the relationship between Mode Choice and Transport Perception.
In the transport perception questionnaire survey, there is a palpable gap between the number of samples selected in T2 stage and T2 'stage, which may have a considerable impact on the accuracy of the research results.
In terms of the multinomial logit model established in Model 2, the explain of the methodology application is not specific.

Reviewer 2 Report
This study examines the influencing factors of transport interventions and traveler choices on traveler perceptions.
Table 1 - The "soft measures" for public transport improvement that are discussed in this paper are rather limited (e.g., free public transit and information campaigns). What about the role of shared mobility filling gaps in public transit service (e.g., first- and last- mile connections, late night service, paratransit etc.). For more information on shared modes:

Even if this is not a core component of the study, some discussion of shared modes and what modes are available in the context of the local environment where the survey was conducted should be included.
"such as mode share, new car sales, energy saving, and ridesharing system adoption"
The authors are encouraged not to use the term "ridesharing". For more information, please refer to SAE International J3163.

Authors have addressed reviewer comments. One question ...
"Available travel modes mainly include: conventional bus, bus rapid transit,
customized bus, subway, private automobile, car sharing, taxi, online ride-hailing, private bike, and shared bike." For readers who are not familiar with these services/terms, should there be a reference to other work with information on shared mobility/definitions? For example (Chapter 1): https://www.planning.org/publications/report/9107556/
