  11. Define the concept: semi-structured interviews
  12. The paragraph “The first part was the basic background, software types, and frequency of use, including gender (male, female), software types (electric bicycles, taxis, subways, high-speed trains, and airplanes), and frequency of use (rarely, occasionally, and often) “is confused.

  19. Ethical considerations (section 3.5) are considered unnecessary in this document. It is suggested to remove them.
  20. Section 4 looks like a repetition of the methods used in the experiment. It is suggested to present only the results of the process under the title numerical example or another similar one, preferably in tabular form, or explain in the corresponding section the existence of the tabular results at the end of your document.
  21.   It is no longer necessary to subdivide the comments in the conclusions section. Make a prose description of the results obtained, comparative aspects, improvements achieved, and probable future lines of research.
  22. Specify clearly in which part of the conclusions the achievement of the objective is hold and where you proves or refutes your hypotheses.
  23. The original contribution of the document is specified only to the calculation of the statistical estimators of goodness of fit to the experiment? Or did the authors create some multiple fit model to the data shown? For example a linear model for prediction purposes.

Reviewer 2 Report

The article raises important issues. Its added value is a reference to current problems. For the benefit of the quality of work it would be worth considering the following issues to be done:

1) in the abstract, in addition to the goal, mention the research gap

2) rows 56-60 - smart city refers mainly to the quality of life of the city's inhabitants, therefore the base for building city according to the smart city concept are people. Technology itself and technological solutions play only a supportive role.

3) row 130 "feeling s of" - please correct

4) rows 155-157 It is worth showing the close connection between the research gap and the analyzed literature. That is, to show that no research of this type has been carried out so far

5) why some of the parts of the article are marked in red?

6) rows 613-617 smaller font
