Abstract

Bicycle-sharing services have received worldwide attention as a sustainable form of transportation. This study explores a priori acceptance of public bicycle-sharing system (PBSS) in India, which is still in the early phases of adopting PBSS. The effects of psychological factors, such as perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEoU), perceived fun (PF), health value (HV), and environment values (EV), on intention to use PBSS are studied, utilizing an extended technology acceptance model. 747 samples were collected from online questionnaires in Dehradun, India. Results of Structural Equation Modelling revealed that intention to use PBSS is strongly predicted by PU and PF together, while PF mediates the influence of PEoU. Furthermore, EV and HV generate positive behavior intention to use PBSS through PU, PF, and PEoU. The study suggests promoting PBSS as a green and active transportation mode offering high PU and enjoyment, with theoretical and practical implications discussed.

期刊介绍： Transportation Letters: The International Journal of Transportation Research is a quarterly journal that publishes high-quality peer-reviewed and mini-review papers as well as technical notes and book reviews on the state-of-the-art in transportation research. The focus of Transportation Letters is on analytical and empirical findings, methodological papers, and theoretical and conceptual insights across all areas of research. Review resource papers that merge descriptions of the state-of-the-art with innovative and new methodological, theoretical, and conceptual insights spanning all areas of transportation research are invited and of particular interest.
