The boom of dockless bike-sharing (DlBS) systems in China has restored bicycling and changed people’s daily travel modes, mostly by impacting walking and public transit systems. The impacts of DlBS on public transit could be either substitution or connection. However, how DlBS substitute or connect to public transit in practice and to what extent, these are still unanswered questions. In this paper we initiated a case study based on survey data in Shanghai, found five main ridership changes after the emergence of DlBS and employed a nested logit model to explore the affecting factors. It was observed that 29% of respondents using DlBS to connect public transit instead of walking, which results a 28% of walking time decrease averagely. About 12% respondents using DlBS as a substitution of bus, which results no travel time increase on average. The findings highlight that DlBS is effective to solving the first-last mile issue.
