“…Therefore, they neglected the need of promoting the start-up of bike delivery services-e.g., by incentivizing them or realizing supporting infrastructures. Their carelessness towards the multifaceted negative effects of traditional combustion engine vehicles-e.g., increase in congestion, energy consumption, pollution, costs, pressure on health system, safety and security-is even more alarming [90,91]. Policy makers and people at large have perceived, for many decades, that the dilemma between motorized versus non-motorized transportation could be associated with rural versus urban and developed versus non-developed, while the most advanced studies prove that cycle logistics may provide a significant contribution to cope with many issues affecting urban contexts worldwide [89].…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether and which specific, distinctive characteristics of European cycle logistics projects and the corresponding supporting policies have an impact on their economic performances in terms of profit and profitability. First, we identify project success factors by geographic area and project-specific characteristics; then, we statistically test possible dependence relationships with supporting policies and economic results. Finally, we provide a value-based identification of those characteristics and policies which more commonly lead to better economic results. This way, our work may serve as a basis for the prioritization and contextualization of those project functionalities and public policies to be implemented in a European context. We found that cycle logistics projects in Europe achieve high profit and profitability levels, and the current policies are generally working well and supporting them. We also found that profit and profitability vary across the bike model utilized: mixing cargo bikes and tricycles generates the highest profit and profitability, whilst a trailer–tricycle–cargo bike mix paves the way for high volumes and market shares.

“…Existing urban transport systems for decades seem to be persistently resistant to modal shift with dominating road transport prevailing (Khisty and Ayvalik 2003). The share of road-transport in transport activities has not been reduced during the past decade regardless of the policies applied, for example pricing and taxation adjustments or infrastructure investments in railways (ECMT/OECD 2003).…”

Young Transport Users’ Perception of ICT Solutions Change

The increasing urban population impacts heavily on city sustainability. One of the key sustainability problems in developing cities is an efficient transport system that can meet transport needs at the lowest social cost. The existing body of knowledge tells us that it could be achieved by shifting users to public transport (PT) and increasing occupancy rates of private modes. Against this background we argue that the key tool in ensuring this shift is offered by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), especially with the use of smartphones. We posit that young users (i.e., 20-24) can be attracted to public transport through ICTs most effectively. We apply a questionnaire-based field research in Sopot, Poland on a large group of young transport users (i.e., n = 567). What was observed are preferences towards ICT and its potential in encouraging the use of different transport modes. We also survey the differences between car owners and no-owners in relation to their preferences. Our results show that young users prefer ICT solutions but require specific ICT-oriented features. What is most interesting is that access to a private car does not need to be a limiting factor in using public transport if only quality ICT in public transport is offered.
