New #OpenAccess research in JTLU: “How #bikesharing changed destination distance for its users: A case study of Chicago Metropolitan Area” by Shubhayan Ukil, University of Michigan, and Aditi Misra, University of Colorado, Denver.
https://jtlu.org/index.php/jtlu/article/view/2597
The paper examines the impact of #Divvy shared bike services in the #Chicago metro region on trip distance of its users across all trips from 2008 and 2018, finding an 0.84km reduction in average trip distance among Divvy users when #bikeshare was available.
Recommendations include planning for shared bike services that are integrated with #transit in urban areas and promoting mixed land use so that users can choose proximate destinations in dense urban areas.

There were protests of "Why an LRT, why not something else?" when the Penang LRT project was announced.
Still, a good public transportation system would help #Penang grow & hopefully ease its ever-present gridlock. I look fwd to taking the LRT from the airport to Komtar ;)
However, please don't ignore #firstmile issues. No point having fancy LRT stations without car parks or any connectivity from them! -
