Longitudinal Analysis of Bikesharing Usage in Montreal, Canada
This paper presents a study of Montreal’s Bixi bikesharing system members over a period of 7 years (2009-2015). More than 23.5 million transactions are transformed into 219,019 members-year units to identify six clusters that have similar travel behavior. A descriptive analysis shows that men, people living closer to the system are most likely to be frequent users. The annual distribution of clusters is quite stable over the 7-year period, however harsh weather may influence the behaviors at the beginning and the end of the 8-month bikesharing season. The cluster’s persistency has been followed through the 7 years, showing that frequent users have higher retention rate (up to 60% annually).
