“…In the United States, known as "Automobile Kingdom", the fluctuations of the gasoline prices not only related to social welfare [3] and subjective well-being [4], but also had a strong correlation with macroeconomic fluctuations [5]. In addition, the gasoline prices had a great impact on the urban and rural traffic safety [6] and traffic behavior [7]. The final consumption prices of the gasoline consist of four parts: crude oil costs, refining costs and profits, sales and transportation costs, and taxes, in which crude oil costs, oil refining costs and profits had a significant impact on the fluctuation of the gasoline price [8].…”

According to the fluctuation series of the conventional gasoline spot prices (CGSP) in New York Harbor (NYH) and U.S. Gulf Coast (GC), this paper defines the fluctuation modes by the coarse-grained method based on the CGSP series in the two harbors. The fluctuation series are converted into the characters by means of the sliding window, where five symbol series is used as a fluctuation mode, one day was used as a step to slide in the data window, and the conventional gasoline spot prices fluctuation network (CGSPFN) is constructed in the two harbors. Then the evolutionary rule of the new nodes in the CGSPFN is analyzed, such as the strength and distribution, average shortest paths, conversion cycle, betweenness, and clustering coefficient of the nodes are calculated in different periods. The result indicates that the cumulative time of the new nodes which appeared in the CGSPFN is not random but presents a high linear growth trend, which reveals the linear features of the cumulative time of abnormal points when the gasoline price fluctuation appears. The betweenness and clustering coefficient shows that the nodes with the larger strength have smaller betweenness and clustering coefficients, the nodes with the larger betweenness have smaller strength and clustering coefficients, and the nodes with the larger clustering coefficients have smaller betweenness and strength. Meanwhile, the gasoline prices are in a transitional period when the larger indicators appear and have a rising trend, and identifying the transitional period will help the decision maker to grasp the regularity of the changes of the gasoline prices.

“…Past research has suggested that the price of gasoline is an important factor influencing private motor vehicle and public transit usage, and an increase in gasoline price plays a key role in encouraging urban transit use (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Although previous investigations have advanced understanding of the determinants of transit demand, several unresolved issues still remain.…”

Using a nonlinear autoregressive distributive lag framework, the paper examines the dynamic effects of gasoline price, gasoline price volatility, income, and transit service coverage and frequency on public transit ridership in six U.S. cities (New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, and Cleveland). The results indicate that, in the long run, rising gasoline prices increase transit ridership in all cities. More importantly, transit riders react differently, depending on the direction of gasoline price movements. The variable corresponding to price increases is found to have a larger elasticity than that for price decreases in five out of six cases, supporting gasoline price asymmetry. In Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and Cleveland, a small but statistically significant long-run effect of gasoline price volatility on transit ridership was found, suggesting that gasoline price uncertainty is an important factor affecting transit ridership in these cities. In the short run, transit service coverage is found to be the key determinant of transit ridership, implying that expanding transit service coverage can boost public transit ridership in the short term.
