A long-term perspective on the COVID-19: The bike sharing system resilience under the epidemic environment

Evolvement patterns of usage in a medium-sized bike-sharing system during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…Overall, the annual volume of bike-sharing trips followed a “slight decrease and strong rebound” pattern since the outbreak, with a 6.80% decrease in 2020 and a 19.52% increase in 2021. Similar trends have been observed in a number of bike-sharing systems operating on a greater scale (e.g., Bi et al. 2022 , Hu et al.…”

Examining the causal relationship between bike-share and public transit in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

“…In addition, the authorities' social distancing measures on public transit, such as capacity restrictions, increased bike-transit substitution ( Wang, Pei, et al, 2021 ). Those findings suggest that bike-share can improve the resilience of the urban transportation system in response to the epidemic circumstances as an alternative to public transit ( Bi et al, 2022 ).…”

Exploring Influential Factors of Free-Floating Bike-Sharing Usage Frequency before and after COVID-19

“…By multiple regression analysis, the results also showed that residential and commercial areas became increasingly important after the pandemic, while the workplace, education, and transportation facilities lost relevance to remote working and online learning. Using the travel data of Citibike in New York City, Bi et al [21] compared and analyzed the spatio-temporal flow pattern of PBS and the connectivity of the network before and after the pandemic. A multivariate survey results of users and travel characteristics showed that ridership of PBS fell severely during the pandemic, but quickly recovered to pre-pandemic levels within a few months.…”
