Does greenness bring more green travelling? Evidence from free-floating bike-sharing in Beijing
Abstract The free-floating bike-sharing system (FFBS) is an effective method of alleviating urban traffic congestion and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The present study used street view images and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to explore the influence of urban greenness on FFBS usage in Beijing, China. In a full sample Poisson model, FFBS usage at a given location would increase 1.003-fold for each unit increase in the greenery view index (GVI) at that location. However, NDVI was negatively associated with FFBS usage. The spatial distribution of urban functional areas was identified. It indicated that they moderated the relationship between urban greenness indices and FFBS usage. Several policy implications were proposed for promoting the level of urban greenness and encouraging the adoption of green travel modes such as FFBS.
Highlights GVI images indicated positive influence of urban greenness on FFBS usage. NDVI images indicated negative influence of urban greenness on FFBS usage. GVI had a negative impact on FFBS use only at morning rush hour in commercial areas. GVI negatively impacted FFBS use in residents-business areas except morning rush hour.
