“…The economic efficiency of public bikes is also being heavily questioned [44]. Theft, vandalism and uncivilized usage of public bicycles is a massive barrier, especially for dockless fleets, that can single-handedly endanger some schemes' economic viability [45,46]. A better understanding of the planning and management of bike-sharing as a key ingredient of smart cities, in conjunction with citizen's perception, is yet to be attained [47].…”

A new mobility ethos is needed for cities looking to overcome the problems that have been accumulated for decades by a transport paradigm that prioritises automobiles over people. Bike-sharing, a measure promoting voluntary travel behaviour change, could be part of a refined toolbox that will help in forging this new ethos. Despite a rapid emergence during the last handful of years, as evidenced by 1956 operational local schemes and approximately 15,254,400 self-service public use bicycles across the world, bike-sharing has been attracting negative attention lately. Tens of schemes have closed down, deemed as financial or operational failures, stigmatising bike-sharing's brand and putting the future of the concept itself in jeopardy. However, discounting bike-sharing as flawed may not be fair or accurate. This paper identifies a formula of success for bike-sharing operations based on a state-of-the-art case study analysis, which is supported by primary data evidence from two survey-based studies in Sweden and Greece. This paper suggests that residents in cities hosting or looking to host bike-sharing schemes are usually very supportive of them but not always likely to use them. More importantly, this paper delivers some key policy and business lessons that form a survival guide for effectively introducing and running public bicycle schemes. These lessons include, among others, the need for: tailoring the system design and expansion strategy according to the host city needs, city-operator and commercial partner synergies, more bike-friendly infrastructure and legislation, pro-active cultural engagement, anti-abuse measures, enhanced fleet management and realistic profit expectations.'as-needed' basis that could extend the reach of public transit services to final destinations and be a door-opener for increased bicycle usage [11].Bike-sharing, typically framed as an ideal and innovative first-and last-mile travel solution for congested metropolitan environments [12,13], and less often tested for the context of smaller and medium cities [14], is now more relevant than ever before [15]. The recent game-changing introduction of stationless and free-floating schemes where bicycles are unleashed from docking stations, allowing users an extra layer of mobility freedom [16], expanded the traditional dock-based bike-sharing provision and transformed the concept into one with a door-to-door travel potential. Bike-sharing has, from that point onwards, emerged rapidly across the globe, with 1956 operational schemes and approximately 15,254,400 self-service public bicycles and pedelecs in use [17], as an easily implementable modal shift mechanism that is iconic for the host city's commitment to sustainable transport operations [18,19].However, at the same time bike-sharing, especially with a growing number of reckless and under-designed implementations of dockless systems, is attracting negative attention, with numerous schemes shutting down as huge financial or operational failures. This has forced usually smaller bike-sharin...

“…A few years ago, only station-based bike-sharing was available, and people must use a smart card to unlock, use, and pay for it, and the associated registration process is overly complicated. But dockless bike-sharing has gradually replaced station-based bike-sharing in numerous Chinese cities [38][39][40][41]. The implementation of smartphone payments has been the norm in today's China, substantially simplifying the previously complicated registration process.…”

Last-Mile Travel Mode Choice: Data-Mining Hybrid with Multiple Attribute Decision Making

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Transit offers stop-to-stop services rather than door-to-door services. The trip from a transit hub to the final destination is often entitled as the “last-mile” trip. This study innovatively proposes a hybrid approach by combining the data mining technique and multiple attribute decision making to identify the optimal travel mode for last-mile, in which the data mining technique is applied in order to objectively determine the weights. Four last-mile travel modes, including walking, bike-sharing, community bus, and on-demand ride-sharing service, are ranked based upon three evaluation criteria: travel time, monetary cost, and environmental performance. The selection of last-mile trip modes in Chengdu, China, is taken as a typical case example, to demonstrate the application of the proposed approach. Results show that the optimal travel mode highly varies by the distance of the “last-mile” and that bike-sharing serves as the optimal travel mode if the last-mile distance is no more than 3 km, whilst the community bus becomes the optimal mode if the distance equals 4 and 5 km. It is expected that this study offers an evidence-based approach to help select the reasonable last-mile travel mode and provides insights into developing a sustainable urban transport system.

“…Sepeda merupakan salah satu moda transportasi dalam mobilitas aktif, yaitu yang memerlukan tenaga manusia untuk menggunakannya. Oleh karena itu, sepeda adalah salah satu moda transportasi yang berkelanjutan karena tidak menghasilkan polusi udara (Jia et al, 2018), polusi suara, dan kemacetan lalu lintas. Selain itu, sepeda memiliki peran penting dalam mobilitas yang dilakukan oleh orang berpenghasilan rendah yang memiliki keterbatasan pilihan dalam melakukan mobilitas (Pinto & Sufineyestani, 2018).…”

Transportasi berkelanjutan menjadi kebutuhan baru Kota Yogyakarta untuk mengatasi permasalahan transportasi seperti kemacetan lalu lintas dan meningkatnya polusi udara. Memiliki sejarah sebagai kota sepeda, Kota Yogyakarta memiliki semangat untuk mengembalikan citra tersebut di tengah meningkatnya jumlah kendaraan bermotor di Kota Yogyakarta. Tahun 2008, pemerintah Kota Yogyakarta mengampanyekan sebuah semangat untuk mengajak penduduk menggunakan sepeda dalam bekerja dan sekolah. Namun demikian, semangat mengembalikan citra sebagai kota sepeda akan menjadi lebih baik jika pemerintah telah siap dalam hal kelembagaan dan infrastruktur untuk sepeda. Lalu, bagaimana kesiapan Kota Yogyakarta dalam memfasilitasi ajakan bersepeda tersebut? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kemampuan Kota Yogyakarta dalam hal keramahan untuk bersepeda atau disebut sebagai bikeability. Bikeability Kota Yogyakarta dapat dilihat melalui aspek spasial dan kelembagaan yang ada. Aspek spasial dalam bikeability diketahui dengan menggunakan metode Spatial Multi Criteria Analysis (SMCA) dan aspek kelembagaan diketahui dengan Ecomobility Readiness Assessment. Ketiga analisis tersebut memberikan hasil bahwa Kota Yogyakarta memiliki karakteristik fisik yang mendukung transportasi sepeda. Selain itu, perjalanan penduduk yang banyak dilakukan di dalam Kota Yogyakarta memberikan optimisme Kota Yogyakarta kembali menjadi kota sepeda. Hal ini diperjelas dengan komitmen pemerintah dalam memprioritaskan pesepeda dan pejalan kaki dalam kebijakan transportasi di Kota Yogyakarta. Sustainable transportation is a new necessity for Yogyakarta to overcome transportation problems such as traffic congestion and increased air pollution. Having a history as cycling city, Yogyakarta has a spirit to restore the image although it experiences the increasing number of motorized vehicles. In 2008, the government campaigned for inviting residents to use bicycle to go to work and schools. However, the spirit of returning the image of cycling city will be better if the government is capable in terms of institution and infrastructure for cycling. According to that, how is the bikeability condition and the readiness of Yogyakarta in accommodating cycling movement? This research aims to identify the ability of Yogyakarta in terms of friendliness for cycling or called bikeability. Bikeability of Yogyakarta can be identified by looking at the existing spatial and institutional aspects. The spatial aspect of bikeability is identified using the Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (SMCA) method while the institutional aspects is known by using Ecomobility Readiness Assessment Scorecard. Both analysis result that Yogyakarta has a good condition of physical characteristic that can promote cycling. It is strengthened by the government’s commitment in prioritizing cyclists and pedestrians in transportation policies of Yogyakarta.
