Abstract

We explore how a rapid rise in air pollutants impacts the ridership of public transportation. Based on the individual purchase history, our comprehensive analyses document evidence that an elevated level of concentrations of fine particulate matter caused a substantial change in individual decisions on public transit ridership in relation to individual social and economic characteristics. The estimated effect primarily arose from the fear of exposure to pollutants and, consequently, is substantially different from other macroeconomic influences. Our empirical results contribute important inferences about commuters’ choices of transit modes during the period of ambient air pollution and offer significant guidance for policymakers and practitioners.

细颗粒物如何影响公共交通乘客量？

我们探讨了空气污染物的快速增加如何影响公共交通的乘客量。根据个人购买历史，我们的综合分析记录了证据，证明细颗粒物浓度的升高导致个人对公共交通乘客量的决定与个人社会和经济特征发生了重大变化。估计的影响主要源于对暴露于污染物的恐惧，因此与其他宏观经济影响有很大不同。我们的实证结果对环境空气污染期间通勤者的交通方式选择做出了重要推断，并为政策制定者和从业者提供了重要指导。
