Abstract:

The booming of bikesharing is receiving a growing attention as societies become more aware of the importance of active non-motorized traffic modes. However, the low usage of this transport mode in China raises concerns. The primary objective of this study is to explore factors affecting bikesharing usage and satisfaction degree of bikesharing among bikesharing user population in China. Data were collected by a questionnaire survey in Ningbo.Abivariate ordered probit (BOP) model was developed to simultaneously examine the factors associated with both of bikesharing usage and satisfaction degree of bikesharing among the memberships.Marginal effects for contributory factors were calculated to quantify their impacts on the outcomes.The results showed that the BOP model can account for commonly shared unobserved characteristics within usage and satisfaction of bikesharing.The BOP model results showed that the usage of bikesharing was affected by gender, household bicycle/e-bike ownership, trip model, travel time, bikesharing stations location,and users’ perception of bikesharing. The satisfaction degree of bikesharing was affected by household income, bikesharing stations location, and users’ perception of bikesharing.It is also found that bikesharing usage and satisfaction degree of bikesharing are strongly correlated and positive in direction. The results can enhance our comprehension of the factors that affect usage and satisfaction of bikesharing. Based on the results, some suggestions regarding the planning, engineering, and public advocacy were discussed in order to increase the usage of bikesharing in Ningbo, China.
