Various studies show that bikeshare systems have positive implications for people's health, social cohesion, urban livability, and urban congestion, although many suggest bikeshare systems are not achieving equity goals, particularly regarding low-income people and women. To date, most of these studies come from cities in the Global North, the majority with well-managed governance structures and less inequality. Less is known about how well bikeshare systems work in the highly fragmented and unequal cities that characterize Latin America.

Using both primary and secondary data, we analyzed equity through the five Ws of bikeshare in Santiago, Chile, exploring which population groups are using the system (‘who’), travel purposes (‘what’) and time periods (‘when’), from/to which locations (‘where’) and the reasons behind using this transport alternative (‘why’). To do this, we used three main data sources: data from tracked trips of bikeshare cyclists (BSC) using the primary system in Santiago (Bike Santiago system run by Tembici), Santiago's Origin-Destination Survey data for own-bike cyclists (OBC), and a survey of BSC. This article contributes to current knowledge about bikeshare and equity in a still underexplored Latin American context with limited bikeshare data, providing some conclusions regarding the adaptation of these systems to local contexts.

In line with findings elsewhere, we found that the largest group of users consisted of educated men aged 25–45 from medium- to high-income neighborhoods, mainly using the system to travel to work. Santiago's fragmented governance has limited the placement of bikeshare systems in low- and middle-income communities and left them with few intermodal alternatives to relevant destinations. As a result, bikeshare mimics the existing inequity and economic concentration patterns that characterize Santiago's daily mobility. Based on these findings, we suggest key considerations and local adaptations that could improve, expand, and redistribute bikeshare facilities to attract currently excluded users.

各种研究表明，共享单车系统对人们的健康、社会凝聚力、城市宜居性和城市拥堵具有积极影响，尽管许多人认为共享单车系统没有实现公平目标，尤其是对低收入人群和妇女而言。迄今为止，这些研究大多来自全球北方的城市，其中大多数城市拥有管理良好的治理结构和较少的不平等。对于共享单车系统在以拉丁美洲为特征的高度分散和不平等的城市的运作情况知之甚少。

我们使用主要和次要数据分析了智利圣地亚哥五个共享单车的公平性，探索了哪些人群正在使用该系统（“谁”）、出行目的（“什么”）和时间段（“何时”） ，从/到哪个位置（“哪里”）以及使用这种交通方式的原因（“为什么”）。为此，我们使用了三个主要数据源：来自使用圣地亚哥主要系统（Tembici 运营的圣地亚哥自行车系统）的共享单车骑行者 (BSC) 的跟踪行程数据、圣地亚哥的自有自行车骑行者 (OBC) 的起点-目的地调查数据，以及对 BSC 的调查。在共享单车数据有限的拉丁美洲环境中，本文对当前有关共享单车和公平的知识做出了贡献，并提供了一些关于这些系统适应当地环境的结论。

与其他地方的调查结果一致，我们发现最大的用户群体包括来自中高收入社区的 25-45 岁受过教育的男性，主要使用该系统去上班。圣地亚哥分散的治理限制了共享单车系统在低收入和中等收入社区的布局，使他们几乎没有前往相关目的地的多式联运替代方案。因此，共享单车模仿了圣地亚哥日常流动性的现有不平等和经济集中模式。基于这些发现，我们提出了一些关键考虑因素和地方调整建议，以改善、扩展和重新分配共享单车设施以吸引目前被排除在外的用户。
