“…Bicycles, as an inexpensive and convenient trip mode, have become a significant mode of transportation in the past decade and are being used more widely in many developed countries, such as the United States and the countries of the European Union (Nosal and Miranda-Moreno, 2014;Ruiz and Bernabé, 2014;Fernández-Heredia et al, 2014). Though the use of bicycles in China has decreased significantly since 1995 due to the rapid motorization and expansion of urban regions (Zhang et al, 2014), with the development of E-bikes and public bike-sharing schemes, the government has been gradually realizing the potential benefits of bicycles and is proposing to plan new cycleway systems, to build bicycle corridors and to improve the level of service for bicycle facilities in many Chinese cities.…”

“…A existência de ciclovia nas vias principais (Ciclovia) teve o segundo menor efeito marginal, dentre as variaveis de análise, 1icando atrás das variaveis Vestiario, Bicicletario e Emprestimo. Esse resultado difere com os obtidos em outros estudos (Wang et al, 2014;Cairns et al, 2010;Ruiz e Bernabé, 2014), os quais indicam que uma rede cicloviária bem conectada é o principal fator de estıḿulo ao uso de bicicleta. Essa diferença pode ser explicada pelo contexto urbano da CORSAN, o qual já possui uma rede cicloviária conectada que permite o acesso a diferentes locais da cidade.…”

“…Por um lado, pela vasta presença de terminais de ônibus próximo à CORSAN, disponibilizando grande oferta de itinerários na região, favorecendo a utilização de ônibus e gerando uma resistência à mudança de padrão dos deslocamentos. Por outro lado, as pessoas que não pagam por seus deslocamentos, tendem a apresentar maior resistência à mudança de modo de transportes (Ruiz e Bernabé, 2014). A CORSAN fornece vale transporte aos seus funcionários, obedecendo aos limites legais de desconto, sendo, para alguns funcionários, um benefıćio percebido.…”

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar as questões mais valorizadas pelos potenciais usuários de bicicleta em viagens a trabalho e avaliar o impacto de medidas de estímulo ao uso da bicicleta. Para isto, foi realizado um estudo de caso com os funcionários da Companhia Riograndense de Saneamento (CORSAN), na cidade de Porto Alegre, por meio de um estudo de Preferência Declarada. Modelos logit ordenados foram utilizados para estimar a probabilidade de uso da bicicleta em diferentes cenários. Os resultados mostraram que a implantação de vestiários, bicicletários, empréstimo de bicicletas, treinamento para funcionários e a presença de ciclovias para o acesso à CORSAN, estimulam a utilização de bicicleta. A disponibilidade de vestiário mostrou-se a variável mais importante. A implantação conjunta de vestiário, bicicletário e bicicletas para empréstimo aumentaria a demanda em 65%. Os procedimentos adotados podem ser facilmente aplicados em outros contextos, expandindo pesquisas desta natureza.

“…They found that land values hugely influence house values in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ruiz and Bernabé (2014) study how drivers and transit users value non-motorised movements in urban transits. Wardman (2004) report on valuations of public transport time relative to car travel time and on the valuations of the walk time, wait time and service headway associated with public transport use, based on a meta-analysis of a large data set of British empirical data.…”

Purpose New services design and development are difficult to plan, execute, measure and evaluate. Particularly, new services that are capital-intensive and involve a long gestation and development time are considered extremely risky. The purpose of this paper is to discuss a list of innovative practices in various managerial aspects in designing, planning and development of a large scale infrastructure intensive public transportation service. A contemporary new public transportation service development is discussed as evidence of proven and benchmarked criteria. Design/methodology/approach This is a technical paper, where theoretical foundations of best practices in new service development project are discussed and supported by practice-based evidences from a real-life urban transportation project. A case study approach is adopted with secondary data. Findings Worldwide during and after economic recession of 2008, several projects were stalled or abandoned. The inference through this work is that through efficient management practices, a large capital-intensive new service development project can be made successful even during a turbulent economy in a region marred by more challenges than elsewhere. Practical implications Several issues in large scale services development, such as urban transportation are domain specific. Some of the issues faced in urban transportation are common to several Gulf countries; therefore the policy guidelines, managerial practices and development strategies reported in this paper can be replicated in many of them. The commercial impact of the service project is a significant drive towards fuel conservation and to save huge amounts of productive time. Social implications Public transportation with a high quality of networked service improves the quality of life to a large extent. Unless certain measurable demands are not met, an affluent society is less likely to endorse public transportation. In addition, endorsement of public transportation is been promoted in several parts of the world as a drive towards a green, energy efficient, low-carbon emission and sustainable environment. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, new services planning and development is a key operations management topic, on which very little is written about. Particularly no other paper has presented a real-world large scale infrastructure intensive project development to this detail, and along with a theoretical background to benchmark performance and development practices.
