“…As the key to solving the "last-mile" problem, the combination of cycling and metro has been extensively studied. Many papers have summarized a range of cycling-metro integration topics, including expanding the effects of metro station service coverage [25], the determinants of general cycling-metro integration [10,[26][27][28][29], the accessibility of cycling-metro [30,31], and the travel characteristics of cycling-metro integrated trips [9,32]. The health and environmental benefits of bikeshare were also studied by Zhang and Mi [33].…”

As a green and sustainable travel mode, the bikeshare plays an important role in solving the “last-mile” problem. The new dockless bikeshare system (DBS) is widely favored by travelers, and the traditional docked bikeshare system (BS) is affected to a certain extent, but the specific circumstances of this impact are not yet known. To fill the knowledge gap, the objective of this study is to measure the impacts of DBS on London cycle hire, which is a type of BS. In this study, the travel data of 707 docking stations in two periods, i.e., March 2018 and March 2017, are included. A spatial-temporal analysis is first conducted to investigate the mobility pattern changes. A complex network analysis is then developed to explore the impact of DBS on network connectivity. The results suggest a significant decrease of 64% in the average trip amounts, with both origins and destinations in the affected area, and the trips with short and medium duration and short and medium distances are mainly replaced by DBS. DBS also has a considerable impact on the structure and properties of the mobility network. The connectivity and interaction strength between stations decrease after DBS appears. We also concluded that the observed changes are heterogeneously distributed in space, especially on weekends. The applied spatial-temporal analysis and complex network analysis provide a better understanding of the relationships between DBS and BS.

“…These two means of transport seem to act in synergetic cooperation, as confirmed by data from the Netherlands, where they are a common practice. Other studies highlight how metro stations can improve their level of service by integrating a public bicycle sharing system (Cheng and Lin, 2018), while yet others explore the benefits of public transport and bike integration in specific cities (Ji et al, 2017). Considering cars as feeder public transport modes could appear contradictory with several sustainable development objectives.…”

It is widely accepted that land use and public transport planning should be harmonised in order to provide a viable alternative to car transport. Following the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept, many studies and plans aim to concentrate urban development in areas accessible by high-quality public transport. Encouraged by studies asserting the positive relation between urban density and public transport use, scholars and practitioners focused their attention on tools and strategies that increase urban density, thereby overlooking geographical contexts where these strategies cannot be applied. TOD might however be also a valuable strategy in low-density contexts, like lower density parts of metropolitan areas, or suburban areas and small towns. It seems therefore relevant and interesting to develop a methodology to explore the value of TOD strategies in such contexts. Our paper fills this analytical and application gap and proposes to extend the conceptualization and implementation of land use and public transport integration to areas where low-density urban development has already occurred (e.g., low-density suburbs, or areas where the protection of natural and cultural heritage precedes urban development). In such cases, where is not possible to increase urban density around transport nodes, the quality of the transport network plays a decisive role. The approach builds on the Node-Place Model by including evaluations of the quality of feeder networks. We applied the methodology to a case study in the Campania Region in southern Italy, indicating a possible way to evaluate land use and public transport integration while considering, at the same time, the quality of transport as network. The application of the methodology allowed to highlight imbalances between accessibility-by main and feeder transport-and land use intensity, and to sketch urban development strategies and priorities of intervention on the transport network. 'node' and 'place' are seen as a key development dynamic and striking a balance between the two is a key policy objective.

“…Ma et al analysed the general characteristics of metro-bike-sharing transfer trips based on smart card data [31]. Cheng et al conducted a cost-benefit analysis of public bicycle sharing system incorporation into the metro system to determine its cost-effectiveness [32]. Zhang et al mapped the bicycle traffic on an equal population cartogram of Shanghai to distinguish overall patterns within the centre of Shanghai and determined that the usage frequency of bike-sharing systems from metro stations to outlying areas is gradually declining [33].…”

“…Understanding the characteristics of DLBS systems is critical to optimizing their operation and management, so as to allocate corresponding parking facilities and vehicle rebalancing. Regarding the use of bicycles as a transfer mode to metro stations, existing literature [28][29][30][31][32][33] primarily focused on the influential factors of bicycles as a transfer mode to metro stations, such as travel distances, travel motivations and car availability. These studies provide great insight into the promotion of the use of bicycles as a transfer mode.…”

With the growth of dockless bike-sharing (DLBS) systems, the first-and-last mile connection to public transport, such as metro and light railway stations, could be improved. DLBS systems complete the trip chain by connecting metro stations with points of interest and enhance the sustainability of urban transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the trans-shipment characteristics of DLBS systems for metro stations. In this study, we collected data from the Mobike DLBS system in Nanjing City, China and applied K-means clustering to analyse the activity patterns of DLBS systems near local metro stations. Metro stations were categorised into five types on workdays and three types on weekends. An analysis of the relationships between activity patterns and spatial distribution characteristics demonstrated that the distribution of clusters possesses a strong connection with the surrounding environment. Low land development rates and a sparse distribution of metro stations cause a large range of influences. This research has direct implications for understanding the operating state of DLBS systems near metro stations and promoting the proper management of DLBS systems.
