Highlights The study assesses various bike share schemes in Delhi to understand each scheme's benefits and drawbacks. The study examines the factors impacting bike share performance in the city. The study performed an accessibility analysis to determine the impact of public transportation nodes and other facilities on bike station usage. The study discusses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of bike share operations in similar cities. The study provides planning and policy recommendations to improve the operation of the bike-sharing scheme.
Abstract In recent years bike share schemes have become increasingly popular in developing countries. Many cities have initiated bike-sharing schemes to promote sustainable mobility, increase bicycle usage, and enhance public transport's first and last-mile connectivity options. During the last few years, India also experienced a boom in bike-sharing schemes. However, unlike developed countries in Europe and America, limited research is available on bike-share schemes in developing countries like India. As a result, these countries face many problems in planning, designing, and operating bike-share schemes. This article considered Delhi a case study to address some of these problems and contribute to India's knowledge of bike-share schemes. The study considered different bike-share scheme operations in Delhi to analyse the bike-share characteristics and evaluate their impact on bike-share usage and ridership. Further, spatial analysis of bike-share schemes was also conducted to analyse the accessibility of bike stations to other facilities such as public transport systems, points of interest and their impact on bike-share usage and ridership. Moreover, a user-based survey was conducted to understand bike-share users' socioeconomic, trip characteristics, and preferences. Furthermore, a swot analysis was conducted to explore the city's strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for operating bike-share schemes. Finally, based on the evaluation of bike-share schemes in Delhi, the study proposed various planning and policy-level recommendations to improve the bike-sharing schemes in similar size cities in developing countries like India.
