网约车对公共交通的影响——合法性的调节作用

作为出行领域新兴的服务模式,网约车方便了人们出行也对社会产生了一定的影响,其中,对公共交通的影响引起了广泛议论。然而,到目前为止,这方面的实证研究较少。针对此,基于中国276个地级市2004—2017年的数据,刻画了网约车对公共交通的影响机制以及合法性的调节作用,结果表明:①网约车的出现减少了公交客运量,但增加了轨道交通客运量;②2017年,各地先后为网约车颁发经营许可证,这种明确合法性的措施促进了人们使用两类公共交通服务。研究结论为更好的管理网约车平台提供了理论依据。

The Impact of Online Ride-hailing on Public Transport-----The Moderating Effect of the Legitimacy

As a new service model in the field of travel, online ride-hailing has not only facilitated people"s travel but also exerted a certain impact on the society. Among them, the impact to public transport caused extensive discussion. However, up to now, there are few empirical studies on it. Based on the data of 276 prefecture-level cities in China from 2004 to 2017, this paper described the influence mechanism of online ride-hailing on public transport and the moderating effect of the legitimacy. Results show that :(1) the emergence of online ride-hailing reduced the bus ridership, but increased the rail ridership; (2) in 2017, some regions began to issue business licenses for online ride-hailing, which clarified the legitimacy of ride-hailing, thus promoting the use of two types of public transport services. The conclusion provides a theoretical basis for better management of online ride-hailing platform.
