The bike-sharing system has advanced urban transportation by solving “the last mile problem,” enabling riders to better connect to public transit. There has been a paucity of knowledge, however, regarding the relationship between bike-sharing and public transit. In this article, we solicit one year of bike trip data comprising approximately 17 million trips from Citi Bike, the largest dock-based bike-sharing system in New York City. Then, we derive six bike usage clusters based on three clustering variables: the start trips, end trips, and station empty status. Finally, we propose three relationships between bike-sharing and public transit: competition, integration, and complementation. The result demonstrates that bike-sharing can largely compete with public transit in New York City. A significant portion of bike-sharing trips are more time-intensive than their public transit alternatives. The article concludes that this competition exists due to riders’ preferences for lower costs and flexibility over savings in travel time, which helps to improve transportation equity for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Thus, in New York City, bike-sharing primarily fulfills the need for low-cost and flexible travel rather than solving “the last mile problem.” This revelation provides new insights into the roles of bike-sharing in urban transportation.

竞争、整合还是互补?探索纽约市基于码头的自行车共享

共享单车系统通过解决“最后一英里问题”改善了城市交通,使骑手能够更好地连接公共交通。然而,关于共享单车与公共交通之间的关系,人们知之甚少。在本文中,我们从 Citi Bike(纽约市最大的基于码头的自行车共享系统)收集了一年的自行车出行数据,其中包括大约 1700 万次出行。然后,我们根据三个聚类变量得出六个自行车使用聚类:开始行程、结束行程和车站空车状态。最后,我们提出了共享单车与公共交通之间的三种关系:竞争、融合和互补。结果表明,共享单车在很大程度上可以与纽约市的公共交通竞争。很大一部分共享单车出行比公共交通出行更耗时。该文章的结论是,这种竞争的存在是由于骑手更喜欢降低成本和灵活性而不是节省旅行时间,这有助于改善社会经济弱势群体的交通公平性。因此,在纽约市,共享单车主要满足的是低成本、灵活的出行需求,而不是解决“最后一公里问题”。这一启示为自行车共享在城市交通中的作用提供了新的见解。在纽约市,共享单车主要满足低成本、灵活出行的需求,而不是解决“最后一公里问题”。这一启示为自行车共享在城市交通中的作用提供了新的见解。在纽约市,共享单车主要满足低成本、灵活出行的需求,而不是解决“最后一公里问题”。这一启示为自行车共享在城市交通中的作用提供了新的见解。
