  • Public Bicycle Schemes
    Division 44 Water, Energy and Transport Recommended Reading and Links on Public Bicycle Schemes September 2010 Reading List on Public Bicycle Schemes Preface Various cities around the world are trying methods to encourage bicycling as a sustainable transport mode. Among those methods in encouraging cycling implementing public bicycle schemes is one. The public bicycle schemes are also known as bicycle sharing systems, community bicycling schemes etc., The main idea of a public bicycle system is that the user need not own a bicycle but still gain the advantages of bicycling by renting a bicycle provided by the scheme for a nominal fee or for free of charge (as in some cities). Most of these schemes enable people to realize one way trips, because the users needn’t to return the bicycles to the origin, which will avoid unnecessary travel. Public bicycle schemes provide not only convenience for trips in the communities, they can also be a good addition to the public transport system. Encouraging public bike systems have shown that there can be numerous short that could be made by a bicycle instead of using motorised modes. Public bike schemes also encourage creative designs in bikes and also in the operational mechanisms. The current document is one of the several efforts of GTZ-Sustainable Urban Transport Project to bring to the policymakers an easy to access list of available material on Public Bike Schemes (PBS) which can be used in their everyday work. The document aims to list out some influential and informative resources that highlight the importance of PBS in cities and how the existing situation could be improved.

The data collection consists of two stages that first 40 seek to build a picture of the current situation before moving on to a more detailed discussion 41 with the scheme adopters. 42 The paper presents a brief history of bike hire schemes and describes the theoretical basis 43 for the investigation, drawing on innovation and diffusion theory. It then reports the findings 44 of the research, which suggests that the expansion phase of city adoption of public bike hire 45 schemes may be past its peak.

  • Welcome to Dubliners – a Full Day's Epic. We Do Not Call This Tour Is Not
    Welcome to Dubliners – A Full Day’s Epic. We do not call this tour is not called an epic lightly. In fact it’s a great challenge! Joyce was a great walker and mapper in his youth, when he spent hours roaming across his city, and as he roamed, so does his Dubliners – and in the case of this ‘Epic’ for 9-10 hours across his city. A few important things to note about your map When there is a track to listen to the route arrow will be purple, when there is nothing to listen to the route arrow will be red. All track numbers are colour coded to their story colour on the map. Please do be sure to read the important accompanying instructions and background to each track, before pressing play. The playing time for each track is written after its verbal description at the bottom of the map. This is not the time it takes to walk to the next location. You will also see the track counting down as it plays in the top left hand corner of your screen. You have ten detailed step by step maps and one overview map in your folder. Tips on how your Mp3 player works You will be shown how to use the player before you leave. However these are some things to remember along the way: There is a blank 1 minute after nearly every track – this is to let you know that that track it is over and it’s time to walk to the next location.

  • Bike-Sharing Systems and Congestion: Evidence from US Cities

While it is claimed that Bike-sharing systems social and environmental benefits are associated with the implementation of BSSs, few empirical studies have Congestion investigated the actual congestion reduction effect of BSSs on cities. To fill such gap, this paper aims to examine ff ff Di erence-in-di erences whether the launch of BSSs can reduce citywide congestion. With a panel dataset of 96 urban areas in the US Fixed effects model from 2005 to 2014, we employed a difference-in-differences model with two-way fixed-effects panel regression. United States The results suggested that the introduction of BSSs shows a significant mixed impact on congestion in general: Larger cities get better off but richer cities get worse off. Such results are consistent with both subsample re- gression with propensity score matching and different congestion measures. Post-hoc analysis reveals that BSSs have a significant positive effect on reducing rush-hour congestion. Finally, implications, limitations, and future work directions are offered 1.
