Shared Ebike Potential: London and New York

Monday, November 26th, 2018

Shared ebikes, implemented at scale, offer the potential to switch a significant number of trips from vehicles and also to provide easier access to public transport for the first/last mile access/egress portion of these trips. This would grow the modest number of trips currently served by publicly-managed bike share systems (29,000 per day in London and 47,000 per day in New York) and increase the overall share of trips by bicycle. This report, undertaken by Steer on behalf of Uber presents, for the first time, an analysis of the potential for shared ebikes to revolutionize travel in two case study cities: London and New York.

Bike-Share Stations in the U.S.

Friday, April 8th, 2016
FIGURE 1. Bike-Share Connectivity to Scheduled Public Transportation

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
BUREAU OF TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS
Bike-share systems typically operate independently of local transit authorities. However, most bike-share docking stations (86.3 percent) can be found near local public transportation stops (transit bus, commuter rail, heavy rail, light rail, and transit ferry). These locations offer modal choice and the opportunity to connect between modes. Transit bus is the most typical connection, with 84.2 percent (2,236) of bike-share stations located a block or less from a transit bus stop.
