Maximum Duration Model for Using Bike-Sharing Systems (Case Study of Tehran City)
Bike-sharing systems are clean transportation modes that contribute to reducing traffic congestion, air pollution, and improving access to public transportation. The use of clean transportation, especially bike-sharing systems, are considered an effective solution for addressing traffic-related problems, air pollution, and improving the quality of life around the world. Unfortunately, in Iran, this mode of transportation has not been given much attention, and Low share of intra-city trips is made using bike-sharing systems. To adopt effective transportation policies in this regard, it is necessary to identify the factors affecting the choice of bike-sharing systems. In this study, the choice of using bike-sharing systems was modeled using a ordered logit model to identify the factors affecting the maximum duration for using bike-sharing systems in Tehran city. Data were collected using a questionnaire, with a total of 418 completed questionnaires, which were reduced to 400 after cleaning the data. According to the results, factors such as providing a safe environment for cycling (constructing dedicated bike lanes), air cleanliness, Road aesthetics, very low environmental gradients on the last trip, resulted in using bike-sharing systems for more than 15 minutes. Factors such as the feeling of social deprivation while riding a bike, physical weakness, lack of interest in bike-sharing systems, commuting for work purposes, resulted in not using or using bike-sharing systems for less than 15 minutes.
