TLDR
Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper carried out an empirical investigation in Hangzhou, China to explore the usage pattern and attitude of different user groups and found that besides the frequent user group, there are substantial amount of people who are occasional users or non-users.Abstract:
In the background of the bike-sharing program booming, this research carried an empirical investigation in Hangzhou, China to explore the usage pattern and attitude of different user groups. The actual benefits of this system were evaluated in the light of the expected utilities set up in the beginning and also data from other cities’ practices. By a methodological improvement on questionnaire sampling, it is found that besides the frequent user group, there are substantial amount of people who are occasional users or non-users. The latter two groups would be the target groups in the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of the system. By diagnosing the characteristics of the two target groups from the frequent user group in a statistic manner, the paper shed light on the efficient intervention arrangements what the governments should pay attention to. Also, by a comprehensive comparison of international cases, it is believed that although Hangzhou is already a leading city for bike-sharing program in China, there is substantial potential to improve it in terms of three indicators: average daily usage frequency, proportion of trips combined with public transportations, and proportion of trips converted from cars.read more

Maher Georges Elmashhara,Joaquim Silva,Elisabete Sá,Ana Amélia Amorim Carvalho,Arash Rezazadeh +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of the studied factors influencing MSS user behavior and offers insights for future research is presented, which suggests directions for future studies including researching the emotional influences and outcomes of MSS use, considering environmental beliefs and behaviours in the MSS context, examining negative behaviours and negative assessments of Mss use, and consolidating the use of theoretical frameworks.

Overview of Bicycle Transportation Development in Urban Areas
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors focused on three different bicycle transportation development systems in Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai, and discussed characteristics of three systems and their improvements, and pointed out that promoting bicycle travel can greatly improve urban transportation system and somewhat curb the usage of automobiles.
