Abstract

The continued growth and utilization of ride-sourcing services have reshaped traditional perceptions of urban mobility. As the popularity of this relatively novel mode of travel has continued to grow, there has been a greater focus on the effect that the adoption and use of ride-sourcing have on the utilization of more traditional modes of transportation. With a few notable exceptions, prior studies on the topic often rely on descriptive statistics to understand the modes that are replaced by ride-sourcing for specific trips. This study utilizes structural equation models to investigate the factors influencing the decision to choose public transit and taxi as their so-called substitute alternative mode for a recent ride-sourcing trip, using data from a web-based survey of Toronto residents. The results indicate that socio-economic and trip-related attributes influence the selection of the substitute alternative mode, and to a lesser extent, attitudes toward ride-sourcing services. In particular, students, persons from lower-income households, and transit pass owners were found to be more likely to substitute ride-sourcing for public transit, while older respondents and persons from wealthier households were more likely to select taxi instead. The study outcomes shed light on the types of transit trips that are more likely to be replaced in favor of ride-sourcing services and the attributes of individuals who are more likely to make this replacement. This information can inform policies that aim to reduce the substitution of ride-sourcing for public transit, which can worsen both congestion and emissions.

是什么影响了多伦多公共交通和出租车服务的代步采购?基于模型的探索性结构方程研究
打车服务的持续增长和利用重塑了人们对城市交通的传统观念。随着这种相对新颖的出行方式越来越受欢迎,人们越来越关注拼车服务的采用和使用对传统交通方式的影响。除了少数值得注意的例外,之前关于这一主题的研究通常依赖于描述性统计来理解特定行程中被乘车外包所取代的模式。本研究利用结构方程模型,利用基于网络的对多伦多居民的调查数据,调查了影响公共交通和出租车作为最近乘车外包旅行的所谓替代模式的决定因素。结果表明,社会经济和出行相关属性影响了替代替代模式的选择,并在较小程度上影响了乘车外包服务的态度。特别是,学生、低收入家庭的人和公交通行证持有者更有可能用打车来替代公共交通,而年长的受访者和富裕家庭的人更有可能选择出租车。研究结果揭示了更有可能被打车服务取代的交通出行类型,以及更有可能被取代的个人属性。这些信息可以为旨在减少乘车替代公共交通的政策提供信息,这可能会加剧拥堵和排放。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Sustainable Transportation provides a discussion forum for the exchange of new and innovative ideas on sustainable transportation research in the context of environmental, economical, social, and engineering aspects, as well as current and future interactions of transportation systems and other urban subsystems. The scope includes the examination of overall sustainability of any transportation system, including its infrastructure, vehicle, operation, and maintenance; the integration of social science disciplines, engineering, and information technology with transportation; the understanding of the comparative aspects of different transportation systems from a global perspective; qualitative and quantitative transportation studies; and case studies, surveys, and expository papers in an international or local context. Equal emphasis is placed on the problems of sustainable transportation that are associated with passenger and freight transportation modes in both industrialized and non-industrialized areas. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert reviewers. All peer review is single-blind. Submissions are made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
