Impacts of Ride-Hailing Applications on Sustainable Mobility in Asian Cities: Bangkok, Hanoi, Manila

抄録

This study examined the impacts of ride-hailing applications (RHA) on sustainable mobility, specifically, mode substitution, vehicle purchasing intention, and behavioral changes in transit use and active mobility, using three Southeast Asian capital cities, Bangkok, Hanoi, and Manila, as case studies for cities in developing countries. Our results confirmed that the advent of RHA generally reduced the use in public transport and active mobility which could impede transition toward sustainable mobility. The comparative analysis results revealed that the degree of impact depended on the initial adoption and/or development of that mode of transport before the advent of RHA. However, our results suggested some entry points of RHA for promoting sustainable mobility including RHA as a feeder role, RHA to improve efficiency of conventional taxi service, and RHA to reduce private car ownership.
