Assessing the Competition of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) and Public Transit in the Greater Vancouver Region (GVR)

在这个研究项目中，我们将研究交通网络公司（TNC）和公共交通以及大温哥华地区（GVR）其他现有城市模式之间的需求关系。审议了公共交通和跨国公司之间的替代和补充问题。我们假设这两种影响都存在，并且这种关系取决于公共交通技术（公共汽车和火车），并表现出基于土地利用模式和交通服务的空间差异。作为次要目标，我们试图研究跨国公司与现有形式的共享移动（即出租车和汽车共享服务）之间的关系。该项目包括在第一阶段对GVR的居民进行市场研究调查，并利用这些数据开发计量经济模型，预测GVR在第二阶段的跨国公司需求。

In this research project, we'll examine the relationship between demand for transportation network companies (TNC) and public transit along with other existing urban modes in the Greater Vancouver Region (GVR). Questions of substitution and complementarity are considered between public transits and the TNC. We hypothesize that both effects are present and that the relationship depends on public transit technology (bus and train) and exhibits spatial variation based on patterns of land use and transit services. As a secondary objective, we seek to examine the relationship between TNC and existing forms of shared mobility (i.e., taxis and carsharing services). The project is composed of a market research survey administered to the residents of the GVR in Phase-1 and the use of such data to develop econometric models of predicting TNC demands in the GVR in Phase-2.
