Highlights Dockless bike-sharing mobility presents a high degree of spatiotemporal regularity. Use Poisson regression to analyze the trip generation/attraction factors. A majority of trips are started from or ended at metro stations. Flow imbalance is observed with more trips towards metro stations. Cycling ”communities” are locally clustered and consistent across the four months.

    Abstract Many cities around the world have adopted dockless bike-sharing programs with the hope that this new service could enhance last-mile public transit connections. However, our understanding of the travel patterns using dockless bike sharing is still limited. To advance the knowledge on the new service, this study investigates mobility patterns of dockless bike sharing in Singapore using a four-month dataset. An exploratory spatiotemporal analysis is conducted to show daily travel patterns, while community detection of networks is used to explore the spatial clusters emerged from cycling behaviors. A series of Poisson regression models are then estimated to characterize the generation, attraction and resistance factors of bike trips in different periods of a day. The proposed regression model, which considers built environment factors of origin and destination simultaneously, is proved to be effective in deciphering mobility. The empirical findings shed light on policy implications in sustainable transportation planning.
