Abstract
This article presents a comparative study aimed at clarifying the similarities and differences between electrical moped sharing service (EMSS) and bike sharing service (BSS) uses in terms of the association of built environments with spatiotemporal patterns. The data comprised study observations from the rental records of EMSS and BSS in Taipei, Taiwan. These were analyzed using the spectral clustering method and logit models. The empirical findings of EMSS fill the knowledge gap in the literature and serve as a reference for EMSS operators. The comparison results between EMSS and BSS suggest that the motorized vehicles and higher usage costs result in SSS uses having different associations of built environments with spatiotemporal patterns from BSS uses. The land use diversity variables are related to the spatiotemporal patterns of BSS use but are unrelated to that of EMSS. The influential variables of design and distance-to-transit attributes on the spatiotemporal patterns are extremely different between EMSS and BSS uses. The differences indicate that the existing knowledge on BSS is inapplicable to EMSS and provide valuable information for transport planners to develop cooperation plans among different transport systems in a city.
