摘要翻译:
甚至在新冠肺炎疫情开始之前,美国的公共汽车乘客量就达到了1973年以来的最低水平。如果过境机构希望扭转这一趋势,它们必须了解其服务分配政策如何影响乘客数量。这篇论文是第一篇在一段时间内对超局部水平的乘客趋势进行建模的论文之一。利用2012年至2018年间波特兰、迈阿密、明尼阿波利斯/圣保罗和亚特兰大的乘客计数数据,开发了一个泊松固定效应模型来评估工作日乘客对频率的弹性。在每一个机构中,当观察单个航线段在某个时间点之间的变化时,发现乘客量对频率是有弹性的。换句话说,就每辆车的乘客量而言,最频繁的路线已经是最有生产力的。然而,当观察每个航线段随时间的变化时,乘客量是非弹性的;每一次额外的车辆出行预计将比路线上已经运行的平均公共汽车产生更少的乘客。在四个机构中的三个,弹性是先前频率的递减函数,这意味着低频路线对频率变化最敏感。本文可以帮助运输机构预测整个网络中转移服务的边际效应。随着乘客统计数据质量和可用性的提高,本文可以作为探讨公交乘客动态的方法基础。

英文摘要:
Even before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, bus ridership in the United States had attained its lowest level since 1973. If transit agencies hope to reverse this trend, they must understand how their service allocation policies affect ridership. This paper is among the first to model ridership trends on a hyper-local level over time. A Poisson fixed-effects model is developed to evaluate the ridership elasticity to frequency on weekdays using passenger count data from Portland, Miami, Minneapolis/St-Paul, and Atlanta between 2012 and 2018. In every agency, ridership is found to be elastic to frequency when observing the variation between individual route-segments at one point in time. In other words, the most frequent routes are already the most productive in terms of passengers per vehicle-trip. When observing the variation within each route-segment over time, however, ridership is inelastic; each additional vehicle-trip is expected to generate less ridership than the average bus already on the route. In three of the four agencies, the elasticity is a decreasing function of prior frequency, meaning that low-frequency routes are the most sensitive to changes in frequency. This paper can help transit agencies anticipate the marginal effect of shifting service throughout the network. As the quality and availability of passenger count data improve, this paper can serve as the methodological basis to explore the dynamics of bus ridership.
