While most previous studies have analysed E-scooter single modes, only few comparative studies of two modes exist and none so-far have analysed E-bike competition or mode choice at a high spatiotemporal resolution for more than two modes. To this Bikesharing end, we develop a generally applicable methodology to model and analyse shared micromobility Competition Mode choice competition and mode choice using widely accessible vehicle location data. -

Exploring Dockless Bikeshare Usage: a Case Study of Beijing, China
sustainability Article Exploring Dockless Bikeshare Usage: A Case Study of Beijing, China Zheyan Chen *, Dea van Lierop and Dick Ettema Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University, 3508 TC Utrecht, The Netherlands; [email protected] (D.v.L.); [email protected] (D.E.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-30-253-1392 Received: 20 December 2019; Accepted: 6 February 2020; Published: 8 February 2020 Abstract: The rapid emergence of dockless bikeshare systems has had a considerable influence on individuals’ daily mobility patterns. However, information is still limited regarding the role that sociodemographics, social environments, travel attitudes and the built environment play on the adoption and usage of dockless bikeshare systems. To gain insight into what influences individuals to start and continue to use dockless bikeshare systems, this study sets out to assess the influential factors that are related to individuals’ initial adoption and frequency of usage of this transportation mode. A survey was conducted among the residents of Beijing to assess their usage of dockless bikeshare systems. A binary logistic regression is employed to assess travel mode adoption, and a set of hurdle negative binominal regressions is used to assess the travel frequency for four trip purposes. The results reveal that dockless bikeshare systems are more popular among younger, higher educated, or median-income groups and appear to be gender-independent. The total number of kilometers of roads within an individual’s neighborhood was reported to be positively associated with having higher odds of dockless bikeshare adoption, while the total length of bicycle paths does not show a significant relationship. -

Worldwide Bikesharing
Worldwide Bikesharing SUSANSHAHEENANDSTACEYGUZMAN ikesharing has evolved greatly since the first program was launched in the Netherlands in the mid-1960s. As of May 2011, there were an estimated B136 bikesharing programs in 165 cities around the world, with 237,000 bikes on the streets. In the Americas, bikesharing activity has spread to Canada, Mexico, the US, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Asia, which represents the fastest-growing bikesharing market today, has programs in China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

How to Save Bike-Sharing: an Evidence-Based Survival Toolkit for Policy-Makers and Mobility Providers
sustainability Article How to Save Bike-Sharing: An Evidence-Based Survival Toolkit for Policy-Makers and Mobility Providers Alexandros Nikitas Huddersfield Business School, University of Huddersfield, Huddersfield HD1 3DH, UK; [email protected] Received: 26 April 2019; Accepted: 31 May 2019; Published: 9 June 2019 Abstract: A new mobility ethos is needed for cities looking to overcome the problems that have been accumulated for decades by a transport paradigm that prioritises automobiles over people. Bike-sharing, a measure promoting voluntary travel behaviour change, could be part of a refined toolbox that will help in forging this new ethos. Despite a rapid emergence during the last handful of years, as evidenced by 1956 operational local schemes and approximately 15,254,400 self-service public use bicycles across the world, bike-sharing has been attracting negative attention lately. Tens of schemes have closed down, deemed as financial or operational failures, stigmatising bike-sharing’s brand and putting the future of the concept itself in jeopardy. However, discounting bike-sharing as flawed may not be fair or accurate. This paper identifies a formula of success for bike-sharing operations based on a state-of-the-art case study analysis, which is supported by primary data evidence from two survey-based studies in Sweden and Greece. This paper suggests that residents in cities hosting or looking to host bike-sharing schemes are usually very supportive of them but not always likely to use them. More importantly, this paper delivers some key policy and business lessons that form a survival guide for effectively introducing and running public bicycle schemes. -

Since 1965, bikesharing has grown across the globe on four continents including: Europe, North America, South America, and Asia (including Australia). Today, there are approximately 100 bikesharing programs operating in an estimated 125 cities around the world with over 139,300 bicycles. Bikesharing’s evolution is categorized into three generations: 1) White Bikes (or Free Bike Systems); 2) Coin-Deposit Systems; and 3) IT-Based Systems. -

OVERVIEW OF BICYCLE-SHARING SCHEMES 1. Also called “Public-Use Bicycles” (PUBs), “Bicycle Transit” , “Bikesharing” or “Smart Bikes”, bicycle-sharing schemes comprise short-term urban bicycle rental schemes that enable bicycles to be picked up at any self-serve bicycle station and returned to any other bicycle station, which makes bicycle-sharing ideal for point-to-point trips (New York City Department of City Planning, 2009) . -
