“…Additionally, it expands upon previous research by analyzing the potential for ride-hailing services to improve accessibility when used in conjunction with transit as a first-mile feeder service. This is particularly relevant given the increasing number of transit agencies partnering with TNCs to improve accessibility for transportation-disadvantaged communities in low-density areas (Brown et al, 2021;Curtis et al, 2019;Zuniga-Garcia et al, 2022). Furthermore, this paper contributes to the growing empirical evidence on how ride-hailing services may shape transportation equity and accessibility conditions, providing new evidence in the context of the Global South.…”

Ride-hailing services have the potential to expand access to opportunities, but out-of-pocket costs may limit the benefits of ride-hail for low-income individuals. This paper examines how ride-hailing services can shape spatial and socioeconomic differences in access to opportunities while accounting for the trade-off between travel time and monetary costs. Using one year of aggregate Uber trip data for Rio de Janeiro in 2019 and a new multi-objective optimization routing method, we analyze the potential for ride-hailing services to improve employment accessibility when used as a standalone transportation mode and in conjunction with transit as a first-mile feeder service. We compare the accessibility Pareto frontiers of these transport mode alternatives with cumulative opportunity measures considering multiple combinations of travel time and monetary cost thresholds. We find that, compared to transit, ride-hailing can significantly expand accessibility as a standalone transport mode for relatively short trips (between 10 and 40 minutes), and as a first-mile feeder to transit in trips longer than 30 minutes. In both cases, the accessibility advantages of ride-hailing are mostly limited by relatively higher out-of-pocket costs. When we account for different affordability thresholds, the accessibility benefits of ride-hailing services accrue mostly to high-income groups. These findings suggest that policy efforts to integrate rideshare with transit are likely not going to benefit low-income communities without some form of subsidized fare discounts to alleviate affordability barriers. The paper also highlights how accounting for trade-offs between travel-time and monetary costs can importantly influence the results of transportation accessibility and equity studies, suggesting that this issue should be addressed in future research.

“…For example, Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority in Florida and Metro Transit of Minneapolis-Saint Paul reimburse TNC (Uber/Lyft) trips after regular working hours for economically disadvantaged workers (Metro Transit, 2020;Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, 2020). A limited number of empirical studies have suggested careful design of the transit-TNC integration to ensure equitable and efficient services for disadvantaged populations (Zhu et al, 2021;Zuniga-Garcia et al, 2022).…”

With the rapid growth of Transportation Network Company (TNC) services and the continued decline of transit ridership, existing research has proposed and some transit agencies have implemented programs that integrate transit and TNC services. This paper expands the research area to examine the equity implications of such integrations, focusing on job accessibility improvements for low-income workers. We develop an analytical framework that compares improvements in accessibility to jobs under different hypothetical scenarios in which TNC travel serves as the last-mile connection of transit services. Using the city of Chicago for the case study, this research confirms that such transit-TNC integration increases job accessibility for all low-income workers throughout the city, but it also pinpoints nuanced differences in the accessibility improvements among workers of different races, ethnicities, and sexes during peak and off-peak hours.

“…To overcome this problem, it is necessary to make efforts to improve the quality of sustainable public service delivery in order to create excellent public service, because public service is the main function of the government which must be provided and possibly by public officials. One effort that can be done is to apply the principles of good governance which are expected to provide excellent service to the community (Chng et al, 2021;O'Shea et al, 2022;Zuniga-Garcia et al, 2022).…”

Good governance in Indonesia has started to be implemented since the outbreak of the reform era. Good Governance is one of the reform tools that is absolutely applied in a new government. However, if you look at the development of reforms that have been going on for quite a long time, the implementation of good governance in Indonesia cannot be said to be fully successful in accordance with the aspirations of the previous reforms. The occurrence of a national crisis and various problems in Indonesia were partly caused by weaknesses in government management, especially the bureaucracy which did not heed the principles of good governance. As a result, various problems arise, such as the deteriorating quality of service to the community. This is a qualitative research with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out using semi-structured interviews with 20 applicants who are managers of training institutions and community learning centers (CLC). The results of this study indicate that the implementation of good governance in the Ministry of Education and Culture still has to be improved and this will affect the public services they apply, particularly in 4 aspects namely participation, transparency, responsiveness and equity.
