Description
This research investigates how bike share systems are utilized under disruptions in public transport and how the impact subsequently converts to increased subscription of the service. Transportation disruptions harm the individual capabilities to continue with commute, which hampers access to essential economic activities and services. Furthermore, the shock affects low-income people much more, imposing higher economic burdens. We examine the efficacy of bike share systems under these dire situations. Through a series of difference-in-differences estimation, we observe several notable findings. First, we find that bike share systems serve low-income neighborhoods when subway operation becomes disrupted. Second, we observe that such an unexpected disruption invokes permanent adoption of latent users in the disadvantaged neighborhoods. Our findings provide relevant managerial and political implications.
