How can we get more people to use public transport? Can nudging help? In our co-founder, Christina's, new paper, just out in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, with Linus Olsson Collentine they show in a field experiment with over 14,000 people for whom we track public transport use for eight months that social norm nudges don't work to change behavior.
