Competition or Supplement? Tracing the Relationship of Public Transport and Bike-Sharing in Vienna ()
S. 137 - 151doi:10.1553/giscience2017_02_s137 Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften doi:10.1553/giscience2017_02_s137
Abstract: The ever-increasing popularity of bike-sharing schemes has added an additional mode to the transport regime in many cities. The data produced by lending and returning bicycles at geographically diverse stations has stimulated numerous studies. We focus on the City of Vienna bike-sharing system (CityBike Wien; CBW) and its relationship with the public transport system, asking whether bike-sharing serves as competitor, relief or supplement. We approach the question by surveying the total CityBike Wien trip data from 2015 – about 1 million records. We cleanse and route all bicycle trips and compare them with routed alternative public transport (PT) journeys in terms of travel time ratios and detour factors. After calculating and plotting the cumulative frequencies of travel times and distances of both modes of transport as well as comparing the current PT and CBW usage levels, we conclude that CityBike functions as a supplement to Vienna’s public transport. Keywords: bike-sharing, public transport, mapping, travel time ratio, detour factor Published Online: 2017/12/13 12:13:51 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x00373583 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
