The results revealed that the floor area ratio played an extremely important role in promoting bike-sharing usage, but such a strong positive impact was not observed within senior groups. Instead, bike-sharing usage by seniors was strongly positively associated with the commercial land and bike lanes. It also detected that male teenagers and young adults were less likely to be influenced by the public land than their female counterparts when using shared bikes. Shared bikes located in areas with dense male senior residents gained high usage by them; however, such phenomenon was not observed from their female counterparts. These findings can provide significant insights for interventions targeting demographic-specific bike-sharing usage to promote inclusivity and equity in urban transportation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104201"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143643265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While many scholars have looked into e-bikes from operations management and user perspectives, the roles of different socio-demographic and built environment factors in e-bike ownership and use are less studied. Especially, how this role changes over time is rarely investigated. This paper explores i) how e-bike ownership and use have changed over time in the Netherlands, ii) how e-bike ownership and use relate to different socio-economic and built environment determinants, and iii) how these relationships have changed over time. Ten binary multinomial logistic regression models are developed to analyze how various determinants affect e-bike ownership and e-bike use respectively, using eight years of travel data from the Dutch national mobility surveys (2014–2021). The results show that e-bike ownership and use in the Netherlands have experienced consistent growth over time. Throughout the study period, e-bikes are becoming more widely adopted across diverse socio-demographic groups, and the influence of household size, household income, age, gender and education on e-bike ownership and use is decreasing. Interestingly, the penetration of e-bikes in non-urban areas is growing. Future urban and transport policies are recommended to take advantage of the growing e-bike adoption and the shifts in the socio-demographics and the residential locations of its adopters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104203"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143643264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are important equity considerations when some areas cannot access potentially life-saving medical services. For emergency healthcare which is time-sensitive, it is necessary to consider both the quality and extent of the coverage.

However, there are inevitably areas where active transportation modes like walking are insufficient to reach certain locations.

This research focuses on the integrated assessment of transit coverage status by combining accessibility and connectivity measures based on smart transit card big data within the x-minute city framework. Using smart transit card big data from Beijing, this study employs an enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method to calculate the accessibility of transit points, such as bus stops and metro stations, within three common x-minute city travel time thresholds (i.e., 5, 10, and 15-min). The accessibility measures are weighted by passenger volume derived from the smart transit card big data. Additionally, transit connectivity is evaluated using a matrix-based approach based on the real-world multi-modal transit network. By integrating both transit accessibility and connectivity, a composite transit index is developed using a modified z-score framework to assess the transit service status of different areas in Beijing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104189"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By comparing ungulate survey data along the QTH between 2001 and 2020, an increase in the migration number of Tibetan antelope in the region from around 2000 to 4000 was observed, despite a rise in traffic on the highway from approximately 1000 to 2000 vehicles per day. The average number of kiangs in each survey along the QTH increased from 18 to 32, and the average number of Tibetan gazelle increased from 14 to 16. The herd sizes of Tibetan antelope, Tibetan gazelle, and kiangs during the construction of the QTR were significantly larger than those after the construction of the QTR. After the construction of the QTR, the number of ungulates along the QTH was negatively correlated with the traffic volume, but positively correlated with the distance between the QTH and the QTR. By comparing the distributions of ungulates before and after QTR construction, it was also found that the number of ungulates decreased in areas where the QTH and QTR were close, but increased where the QTH and QTR were further apart. This suggests that the close proximity of the two linear infrastructures can have a cumulative negative effect on ungulate numbers.

This research investigated the impediments faced by women in the public transportation system of Lahore, Pakistan. The study explores mobility using a mixed method of interviews with transport officials, visual analysis of bus stops and a questionnaire survey. A total of 624 women aged 15–29 were inquired about the accessibility, safety and affordability of public transport. The interviews with the Punjab Mass Transit Authority and Punjab Transport Company revealed the absence of gender-specific planning, route information and women safety parameters in buses. The bus stop analysis has further highlighted overcrowding, encroachment, inadequate lighting and poor maintenance. These physical barriers affect women's mobility and contribute to the gender gap in Lahore's transportation system. The results of the questionnaire analysis indicated that 31 % perceived feeder routes as the most accessible mode, while 77 % were unaware of bus routes. Ninety-nine percent did not prefer using public transport at night due to significant safety concerns. 62 % found public transport time-consuming though 33 % agreed it was very economical. 57 % expressed dissatisfaction with public transport facilities in Lahore owing to safety issues and the unavailability of connected bus routes. Moreover, multi-regression and analysis of variance tests highlighted safety as the strongest predictor of satisfaction that impacts mobility. This study emphasises the need for improved infrastructure at bus stops, updated route information, and enhanced safety measures. These recommendations promote gender equality and enhance women's mobility in Lahore's public transport system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104187"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
