Abstract

The rise of emerging mobility services (EMS), particularly ridehailing and micromobility, has transformed urban transportation and challenged the traditional public transit (PT) system. This has led to coopetition dynamics between EMS and PT, characterized by supplementary, complementary, and competitive interactions, which introduce complexity to discussions on equity, cost, and sustainability. The long-term impact will also depend on how EMS is integrated with existing PT and how cities manage these challenges. This study addresses these gaps by conducting a systematic literature review of EMS and PT coopetition dynamics, focusing on the equity implications of accessibility. The findings reveal that ridehailing primarily competes with PT while complementing it during disruptions and in areas with limited service; however, it disproportionately benefits affluent areas, exacerbating inequities. Conversely, micromobility supplements PT as first- and last-mile solutions while also competing in city centers. This study also offers topology and pathways from coopetition to equitable EMS and PT integration.

新兴移动服务和公共交通合作对公平的影响：综述

新兴出行服务（EMS）的兴起，特别是网约车和微出行，已经改变了城市交通，并挑战了传统的公共交通（PT）系统。这导致了EMS和PT之间的合作动态，其特点是互补、互补和竞争的相互作用，这给公平、成本和可持续性的讨论带来了复杂性。长期影响还将取决于EMS如何与现有PT相结合，以及城市如何应对这些挑战。本研究通过对EMS和PT合作动态进行系统的文献回顾来解决这些差距，重点关注可及性的公平影响。研究结果显示，网约车主要与PT竞争，同时在交通中断和服务有限的地区对PT进行补充；然而，它不成比例地惠及富裕地区，加剧了不平等。相反，微交通作为第一英里和最后一英里的解决方案补充了PT，同时也在城市中心竞争。本研究还提供了从合作到公平的EMS和PT整合的拓扑结构和路径。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
