Abstract

Bike-sharing offers a convenient transportation option, enhancing the potential for direct competition with underground transportation, especially for short-distance trips. However, research on bike-sharing trips primarily focuses on survey data or aggregated data at the station-level. Few attempts have been made to understand the competition between bike-sharing and underground at the origin-destination (OD) level. This study aims to explore the competitiveness of bike-sharing to the underground at short-distance level using actual OD-level bike-sharing and underground ridership data collected in London. Light Gradient Boosting Machine and SHapley additive explanations models are employed for the analysis.
