The aim of the analysis is to explore the different levels of social equity relative to gender, age, hukou, personal income and car ownership, specifically in terms of capabilities and functionings, that is, we investigate how the perceived opportunity to travel and access activities as well as actual travel differs across population groups. East Beijing, and in particular the district of Guomao, is used as a case study, to illustrate features of a relatively wealthy area with abundant transport resources. The research analysis shows that capabilities and functionings differ according to an individual’s socio-economic characteristics. In transport planning, in China and beyond, we would argue that transport-related social inequity has been largely overlooked in developing transport systems and is not considered to any significant extent in project appraisal.","PeriodicalId":332204,"journal":{"name":"Handbook on Transport and Urban Transformation in China","volume":"258 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123324690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He then provides a summary and synthesis of the key findings presented in each of the four thematic parts of the book, and suggests that these findings can help address many important questions and inform transportation planning and policymaking in China. He also identifies some significant topics omitted from this edited volume, and provides a number of relevant thoughts and observations for interested readers. Qing Shen ends the chapter by offering exciting prospects for future research. He expects transportation researcher to play a critically important role in designing appropriate policies to steer the future development and deployment of technological and service innovations, as well as in exploring complemen-tary land use and travel demand management approaches for promoting sustainability. In light of China’s increasing prominence as a global citizen, he urges Chinese transportation researchers to become originators in transportation scholarship, creative designers of policy experiments, and effective facilitator of knowledge transfer.","PeriodicalId":332204,"journal":{"name":"Handbook on Transport and Urban Transformation in China","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121932924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ORS initiated a revolution against traditional taxi services and has had significant influence on the commuting preferences of city residents and urban transport. China is one of the pioneers in terms of online ride-hailing services. The first Chinese ORS provider started operation as early as 2010, after which various ride-hailing mobile applications and operating platforms came to the stage. Chinese online ride-hailing markets have experienced the phases of birth, rapid growth and regulation through official supervision by the government. The rise of online ride-hailing services has reshaped the entire landscape of the taxi industry and Chinese cities’ traffic dynamics; therefore, it is necessary to have a systemic overview of its developing status in China and discover its effect on policies developed to address the traffic in Chinese cities. A detailed discussion will follow. Section 2 analyses the reasons for the ORS boom in China from the perspective of its background, developing phases and modes. Section 3 will develop a theoretical model to analyse the impact of online ride-hailing services on city traffic, in alignment with some empirical evidence from a few Chinese cities. Section 4 will briefly introduce the new regulation framework rolled out by the Chinese government in 2016 and discuss its implementation in different cities. The last section will provide relevant discussions and policy propositions.","PeriodicalId":332204,"journal":{"name":"Handbook on Transport and Urban Transformation in China","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129209277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
