Abstract

Bus rapid transit (BRT) has emerged as a promising solution to support sustainable urban development. Using smartphone mobility data, this quasi-experiment in El Paso, Texas explored the impacts of BRT on visits to non-work-related business destinations and socioeconomic disparities in these impacts. Fixed effect models were used to compare visit frequencies between treatment (within 0.5 mile of BRT stations) and control areas. Results showed that BRT increased business destination visits, especially among low-income and older populations. Further efforts are needed to investigate the full range of BRT benefits and strategies to promote transit-oriented development around BRT.

新型快速公交对非工作活动的因果影响

快速公交（BRT）已成为支持城市可持续发展的一种很有前途的解决方案。这项在得克萨斯州埃尔帕索进行的准实验利用智能手机移动数据，探讨了快速公交对非工作相关商业目的地访问的影响，以及这些影响中的社会经济差异。固定效应模型用于比较治疗区（快速公交车站0.5英里范围内）和控制区之间的就诊频率。结果显示，快速公交增加了商业目的地的访问量，尤其是在低收入和老年人群中。需要进一步努力调查快速公交的全方位效益和战略，以促进快速公交的公交导向发展。
