The transfer habitus explains the expectations, needs and preferences of users to carry out a journey from the choice of a destination. In the COVID-19 era, the habitus was modified, but to what extent is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the relationships between the transfer habitus and the variables reported in the literature. A cross-sectional, exploratory and psychometric study was carried out with a sample of 100 students from a public university in central Mexico, considering their degree of exposure to risks in public transport. A four-dimensional factorial structure was found that explained the transfer habitus. In relation to the state of the question, the extension of the proposed model is discussed.
