Abstract

This article presents a comparative study aimed at clarifying the similarities and differences between scooter sharing service (SSS) and bike sharing service (BSS) uses in terms of the link between built environments and spatiotemporal patterns. The data comprise study observations from the rental records of SSS and BSS in Taipei, Taiwan. These data were analyzed using spectral clustering method and logit models. The comparison results between SSS and BSS suggest that motorized vehicle usage and high usage cost result in SSS uses revealing long travel distances and different associations of built environments with spatiotemporal patterns from BSS uses. The distance-to-transit variables are related to the spatiotemporal patterns of BSS uses but are unrelated to those of SSS. The difference indicates that existing knowledge on BSS is partially inapplicable to SSS and provides valuable information for transport planners in developing cooperation plans among different transport systems in a city.
