“…Therefore, the probability of not walking for regular users of ridesourcing in Cairo is between regular users of cars and public transport. In general, despite the studies which suggest that ridesourcing is substituting walking [4,46,48] or indicate ridesourcing increases the use of nonmotorized modes for a small segment of users [49] our findings in Cairo indicate that the tendency of the regular ridesourcing users toward walking is between the regular users of public transports and private cars which is in the direction of the studies of Lee et al [50].…”

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.

“…is finding agrees with the opinion of Zhang, who proposed that Chengdu's ridehailing travel was relatively concentrated in areas close to the city center, and mainly on the expressway of the second ring road [24]. It is also similar to the view expressed by Lee, who proposed that ride-hailing vehicles are likely to increase traffic congestion in the central areas of cities [25]. vehicles was 14.49 and 14.43 times higher than that of private cars on the working day and the holiday, respectively.…”

The growth of ride-hailing services has made people’s daily commutes more convenient but has increased traffic on the road. However, the data needed to verify the impact of ride-hailing services on the urban road traffic network are lacking. This study matches data on the trajectories of different kinds of vehicles in Xuancheng city in the urban road network by using vehicle information data, ride-hailing information data, and license plate data recorded by the traffic bayonet system from December 26, 2018, to January 25, 2019. We used two indices, the detecting intensity and the detecting rate, to analyze the characteristics of travel based on ride-hailing services in Xuancheng. The results show that the ride-hailing vehicles have obvious travel characteristics of morning peak and evening peak, and in central urban areas and through the proposed indices of the travel time occupation rate and the travel space occupation rate to further quantitatively analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of travel of different kinds of vehicles. Following this, we calculated the average ratios of different kinds of vehicles on congested sections of the road network and used simple regression to analyze the relationship between this and the average speed on these sections to quantitatively analyze the impact of ride-hailing on traffic congestion. The work here can provide effective decision-making support to the government for managing travel based on ride-hailing services.

“…Second, we contribute to the literature that studies spillovers across physical and digital markets (Liebowitz 2004, Zentner 2006, Smith and Telang 2009, Danaher et al 2010) by adding to the conflicting results of research on cannibalization across these markets. Third, we add to the literature that focuses on how habits and choices are affected by the introduction of new services (Chan et al 2019, Lee et al 2018, Burtch et al 2018, Babar et al 2021. Our work contributes by identifying how and why the prices of physical collectibles are affected by the introduction of NFT collectibles.…”
