Rail transportation has many advantages, including greater safety, less fuel consumption, less environmental pollution, helping to reduce the number of road accidents, etc., and can be considered as one of the most suitable modes of transportation. But attracting passengers to this mode of transportation is not easy for many reasons. According to the results of some research conducted in this field, even in cases where rail transportation is the most cost-effective method, still many travelers prioritize and choose other modes of transportation. This problem indicates the existence of obstacles for attracting passengers and reveals the need for more research and studies in this field. Meanwhile, the issue of investigating and prioritizing the factors preventing intercity rail travel has rarely been addressed and investigated inside and even abroad, which indicates a gap in studies in this field. Therefore, in this research, we tried to identify and rank the obstacles and take a step towards filling the existing research gap by studying in this field and investigating and understanding the obstacles and factors preventing intercity rail travel in the country. The noteworthy point is that according to the results of some researches conducted in this field, even in cases where rail transportation is economically the most economical method of transportation, still a large number of passengers use other modes of transportation. And they prioritize the narration and choose them. Therefore, this issue indicates the existence of obstacles in this direction, which despite the aforementioned advantages of rail transportation, leads to the desire of more people to use other modes of transportation and the need for more research and studies in this field. reveals Meanwhile, the issue of investigating and prioritizing the factors that prevent intercity rail travel has rarely been addressed and investigated within the country and even abroad, which indicates a gap in studies in this field. Therefore, in this research, we tried to identify and rank these obstacles by studying in this field and investigating and understanding the obstacles and factors preventing intercity rail travel in Iran and take a step towards filling the existing research gap. The current research is of a descriptive-applied type, in which, firstly, the most important factors inhibiting intercity rail travel in the country have been identified according to the review of previous researches and the opinions of professors in this field, and secondly, these factors have been investigated using the factor analysis method and We prioritize. For this purpose, the statistical population of this research is all the passengers of the Tehran-Mashhad route, which is one of the main and most demanding routes in the country. In this research, in the first stage, a questionnaire method was used to collect data, and a total of 773 questionnaires were completed by travelers. After analyzing the data using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the relationships Latent and obvious variables are used and the impact of each factor on the use of passenger rail transportation and their prioritization has been investigated.
