2019冠状病毒病大流行的全面社会影响在城市交通模式中暴露无遗。这项研究探讨了最近公布的关于纽约市COVID-19爆发期间地铁和自行车共享系统（BSS）运营的数据，提供了其对城市交通系统影响的证据，以及其不同组成部分如何协同工作。事实证明，巴士站的弹性较地铁系统为高，乘客量的跌幅较小（乘客量跌幅为71%，乘客量比率则下跌50%），而平均行车时间亦有所增加（每程由13分钟增加至19分钟）。此外，该研究发现了一些地铁用户向自行车共享系统转移的证据。还评估了针对基本服务工作者的免费BSS方案的初步效果。BSS可以提高城市交通系统对破坏性事件的应变能力。总的来说，本文提供了关于自行车共享和一般自行车如何支持向后冠状病毒社会过渡的线索。
The full societal impact COVID-19 pandemic is laid bare in urban mobility patterns. This research explored the recently published data on the operation of subway and bike share systems (BSS) during the COVID-19 outbreak in New York city, providing evidence on its impact over urban transport systems, but also on how its different components can work in conjunction. The BSS has proved to be more resilient than the subway system, with a less significant ridership drop (71% vs 90% ridership drop and 50% decrease on the ridership ratio) and an increase on its trips' average duration (from 13 min to 19 min per trip). Moreover, the study found evidence of a modal transfer from some subway users to the bike sharing system. The first effects of the free BSS programs aimed at essential service workers were also evaluated. BSS can improve the resilience of urban transport systems to disruptive events. Overall, this paper offers clues on how bike sharing, and cycling in general, can support the transition to a post-coronavirus society.
