“…The city of Milan is used as a case study for the implementation of the approach. In this way, this work overcomes a research gap in providing mobility capacity during a pandemic (or similar capacity-limiting events) by integrating PTSs and BSSs and adds to earlier work on the interplay of BSSs and PTSs as presented in case studies in different cities ( 15 – 17 ).…”

“…A recent study on public transit strikes ( 14 ) concludes that integrating BSSs into the PTS increases the system’s resilience to disruptive events. Moreover, several studies investigate the interplay of bike sharing and public transport in cities such as Poznań ( 15 ), Oslo ( 16 ), and Vienna ( 17 ). Recent literature has further stressed the importance of reliable service quality in shared mobility ( 18 ), possibly implemented in different service zones ( 19 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge for public transport systems. The capacity of transport systems has been significantly reduced because of the social distancing measures. Therefore, new avenues to increase the resilience of public urban mobility need to be explored. In this work, we investigate the integration of bike sharing and public transport systems to compensate for limited public transport capacity under the disruptive impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a first step, we develop a data analysis model to integrate the demand of the two underlying systems. Next, we build an optimization model for the design and operation of hybrid mixed-fleet bike sharing systems. We analyze the case of the subway and public bike sharing systems in Milan to assess this approach. We find that the bike sharing system (in its current state) can only compensate for a minor share of the public transport capacity, as the needs in fleet and station capacity are very high. However, the resilience of public urban mobility further increases when new design concepts for the bike sharing system are considered. An extension to a hybrid free-floating bike and docked e-bike system doubled the covered demand of the system. An extension of the station capacity of about 37% yields an additional increase of the covered demand by 6.5%–7.5%. On the other hand, such a hybrid mixed-fleet bike sharing system requires many stations and a relatively large fleet to provide the required mobility capacity, even at low demand requirements.

“…There is evidence, for example, that bike share could also "fill the gaps" in public transport (Leth, Shibayama and Brezina, 2017;Radzimski and Dzięcielski, 2021) or provide an alternative to taxis and ride-hailing in the same way that e-scooters do. For those who enjoy the "wind in your hair" aspect of e-scooters, cycling could be equivalent (Handy and Lee, 2020).…”

E-scootersare a relatively new form of mobility that is becoming more prevalent. Aroundthe world, cities and countries are developing differing responses to a rapid growthin their use. Understanding e-scooter use as part of a developing trend for bothnew e-micromobility vehicles and for new sharing and rental systems facilitatedthrough technology, it is important to understand how use is shaped by, andshapes, mobility spaces, and how e-scooters relate to existing mobilitypractices and transport planning policy, to create new ways of getting around. Whilstthe use of private e-scooters in public spaces remains illegal in the UK, Government-ledtrials have been taking place since autumn 2020. These are focused on rentalschemes in specific towns and cities across the country with the intention ofcreating an evidence base on usership and contextual issues. This paper presentsevidence from the Greater Manchester trial and is based on research conductedin collaboration with Transport for Greater Manchester and Lime, the private e-scooteroperator. The study combines online surveys, reference groups and qualitativeinterviews in an iterative cycle over the course of the trial to provide insightsinto who is using, and not using, the rental e-scooters and for what purposes. Itcontextualises the e-scooter trial within a broader discussion with other roadand pavement users to establish the ways they impact upon and interact with mobilityspaces and practices. Although focused on the rental scheme, the study alsotakes account of the use of and experiences around private e-scooters.Ourconversations with people in Greater Manchester reveal a complex relationshipwith e-scooters that reflects both a recognition of their potential to reducethe impact of urban journeys on climate change and air quality and a concernabout the ways these vehicles could integrate into mobility systems. People sawscope to use the scooters instead of other modes and as part of mode chainingbut the potential for this was limited by concerns about safety on the roadand, at present, the operational area of the trial, which did not always allow usersto access their places of work or education or to connect with public transportinterchanges. To some extent these concerns reflect the novelty of thetechnology, and could therefore change over time, but it is also the case thatviews resonate with well-established barriers to cycling and highlight thetendency for roads to be dominated by motor vehicles to the extent that usersof other modes feel vulnerable. Understanding e-scooters in this way placesthem within wider debates around active travel, the allocation of road space,and the enforcement of driving standards.Thereis however an additional dimension, which is the potential for e-scooters toimpact upon people walking and cycling and on vulnerable pavement users in particular.Their quiet operation and relatively high speeds have prompted some concerns fromgroups with visual and mobility impairments and our respondents have reportedspecific instances of feeling unsafe, experiencing collisions, or having tomove out of the way of an e-scooter. These observations call for a better understandingof what constitutes responsible, or ‘good’, e-micromobility use in contestedspaces. Conversely, there are potential use cases through which e-scooters facilitateinclusion, such as when they provide a form of mobility that requires lessexertion than cycling and when they can be used as a relatively inexpensive mobilityaid. They could therefore enable people who feel excluded from cycling to enjoya level of active mobility. There is also some evidence that, by reducing thetime spent waiting at transport interchanges, they can alleviate some concernabout personal safety.@font-face{font-family:"Cambria Math";panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;mso-font-charset:0;mso-generic-font-family:roman;mso-font-pitch:variable;mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face{font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;mso-font-charset:0;mso-generic-font-family:swiss;mso-font-pitch:variable;mso-font-signature:-469750017 -1073732485 9 0 511 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal{mso-style-unhide:no;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";margin:0cm;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoChpDefault{mso-style-type:export-only;mso-default-props:yes;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}div.WordSection1{page:WordSection1;}
