“…Thus, the Tehran model reveals that the probability of a modal shift from walking is more correlated with the socioeconomic variables of the regular users of motorized modes like household income-cost ratio, having a job or being students, and the possession of a driving license. This finding is in the line of some studies in the Western context [43], and in the MENA region [38,44,62,63] indicating that socioeconomic factors have stronger effects than road network variables (like connectivity) on the preference for walking.…”

The Association between Regular Use of Ridesourcing and Walking Mode Choice in Cairo and Tehran

The rapid adoption of ridesourcing poses challenges for researchers and policymakers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), as it is an evolving new transport mode, and there is little research explaining its effects on mobility behaviors in this region. There is a concern that ridesourcing, which offers convenient and relatively cheap door to door services, encourages citizens to replace their sustainable travel modes, like walking, with car use. This effect has been studied relatively well in metropolises of the West, but less in the MENA agglomerations. This paper investigates whether regular use of ridesourcing impacts the walking mode choice in Cairo and Tehran. The analysis uses the results of 4926 face-to-face interviews in these two cities to compare the preference for using a vehicle instead of walking between regular users of ridesourcing and other motorized modes, including public bus, urban transit rails, private car, and traditional taxi. The findings indicate that in Cairo, the regular ridesourcing users are more likely than regular users of public transport to use a vehicle instead of walking inside their neighborhood. However, in both cities, ridesourcing users are less likely than regular private car users to replace walking by using vehicles.

“…When trying to understand the various transit systems passengers' behaviour and preference, a number of researchers suggested to pay attention to the different kind of trips carried out by the passengers (Chakrabarti & Giuliano, 2015;Fearnley et al, 2017;Ramezani et al, 2017;Soltani & Shams. 2017).…”

“…The differentiation can be based on the purpose, time and distance of the trip. Ramezani et al (2017) and Soltani & Shams (2017) differentiated the trips they analyze by the trip purpose, that are work-related and nonwork-related trips. They did not elaborate one the justification of such differentiation, neither did they elaborate one the definition of each trip.…”

This article explores some issues that are potentially considered by bus rapid transit (BRT) system passengers when shifting their mode of transport from driving their vehicle to taking the BRT system for the same kind of trip. The issues are explored as part of an attempt to design an appropriate BRT passengers' modal shift evaluation. The BRT passengers' modal shift evaluation is to be carried out to understand how a BRT system may influence urban development around the system and how it may trigger transit-oriented development (TOD) around the system. This article was written through a literature review directed on certain topics, that are BRT ridership-influencing factors, the BRT system passengers' behavior, the built environment condition around BRT systems, the types of transit system passengers and the types of trips carried out utilizing a transit system. It is found that several components of BRT system service quality and several components of the built environment around the system potentially influence the BRT system passengers' consideration when shifting their mode of transport. However, the influence may not be homogenous among all passenger-trips due to the different passengers' backgrounds and the different types of trips carried out utilizing the BRT system.

“…Many studies have explored the relationship between built environment and travel behavior [19][20][21][22][23], in an attempt to guide urban planning practice to reduce automobile dependence and related environment and social costs [24]. Built environment is usually measured as 6Ds [25], including density, diversity, design, destination accessibility (e.g., accessibility to jobs, distance to destination), distance to transit, and demand management.…”

With the rapid urbanization and motorization, many cities are developing urban rail transit (URT) to reduce car dependence. This paper explores the URT effect on car ownership and use based on the home-based work tour data in Beijing, China. Considering the mediating effects of car ownership and travel distance simultaneously, we develop a structural equation model to examine the complex relationship among URT, car ownership, travel distance, and car use. The results indicate that URT plays an important role in reducing car dependence. Living within URT catchment areas by itself is not significantly associated with car ownership and use, but if the workplace is near a URT station, people are less likely to own and use cars. People who both live and work near URT station areas have lower probability of owning and using cars. Moreover, car ownership and travel distance mediate the relationship between URT and car use, and the mediating effect of car ownership is greater than travel distance. Our study verifies that URT does discourage people from owning and using cars, which may have important implications for developing cities to make response to the ongoing motorization.
