One important factor in determining whether commuters will use public transport is spatial accessibility rooted in the first-mile problem. This study explores commuter behaviour in terms of how they utilize bike-sharing to manage the first-mile accessibility of a public transportation station. Historical data from Taipei Metro smart cards were analyzed using RFM (recency, frequency, and monetary) segmentation models to identify commuter segments. This study reveals two significant findings: comprehensive spatiotemporal characteristics and homogeneous behavioural patterns are derived from clustering algorithms. The city's penetration pricing strategy for bike-sharing motivates modal splitting transfer between bike-sharing and transit (MSTBT). In addition, we observed a supplementary and utilitarian relationship between bike-sharing and the metro. A convenient transportation network improves first-mile accessibility, thus the frequency of MSTBT usage is a key metric for measuring engagement. The findings provide a useful reference for urban planners promoting the design and development of sustainable transportation systems.
