Abstract

The principal aim of this paper is to empirically investigate the bike-sharing usage among Klang Valley citizen. Data for this study were collected using an online questionnaire survey. However, due to the low responses, simulations have been used and applied to predict the outcomes of the research. The simulated data was generated based on a uniform selection of a random element that simulated the answers of the potential questionnaire respondents. We limited the number of responses to 350 respondents. Correlation analysis was applied to analyze the data collected. The factors affecting the bike-sharing usage are availability, safety, convenience cost and enjoyment. Convenience is found as the only variable that influences the bike-sharing usage among Klang Valley citizen. The findings contribute towards an understanding of factors that may encourage people to shift from an automobile to bike-sharing as an alternative towards a sustainable transportation option. In theoretical contribution, the developed theoretical framework presents a platform for future empirical bike-sharing studies and extend previous research conducted in Western countries. This research shows that bike-sharing is important in embracing non-motorized means of transport towards reducing the environmental pollution and acknowledgement towards the reduction in road congestion, accidents, and other social and environmental problems. Findings from this study will help practitioners implement strategies with greater potential in increasing the attractiveness of bike-sharing and improve the sustainability of land use and transportation systems.

Abstract

Transportation service provided as social responsibility in many country including Malaysia should always be safe and perceived as safe by everyone. However, many studies had found that the increasing level of crime had cause the level of fear increase as well. Thus this had effected the ridership drop on almost all public transport usage especially taxi. Therefore it is the main intention of this paper to look at the different factors affecting the level of safety indication among taxi users in urban area. The paper provide an overview of the factors explaining on how different level of travel satisfaction through a quantitative research method where a personal administered survey was conducted among the taxi users who is living and commuting to the city center using taxi service. One of the significant findings shows that certain element such as driver attitude, age and technology indicate a significant roles as travel safety indicator. As this study only focus in urban area in Klang Valley, therefore the finding cannot be generalize to other area. Among the implication of the findings is that, future planner should take into consideration all factors that could possibly create a low signal of safety level among taxi users. This paper highlight the fear reduction model through a Malaysian empirical evidence which hold a high level of novelty where the application is suitable in Malaysian context urban travelers especially when reducing level of fear among taxi users is concern.
