Caracterização do uso integrado de bicicleta compartilhada e ônibus em Fortaleza

Abstract

In Fortaleza, the use of the bicycle as a transport mode has shown a consistent increase on the last years and an integration of this mode with buses has been observed. Behind this scenario, there are governmental incentives aimed at a change of culture in relation to the bicycle, such as increasing the cycle structure and implementing shared bicycle systems and part of this effort is focused on cycling–transit integration, such as the implementation of stations close to bus stops and terminals, but there are not studies about who integrates these modes in Fortaleza before making these changes. This work aims to characterize the integrated use of shared bicycles and buses in Fortaleza, analyzing aspects related to travel and users. For this, data of the Bicicletar, Fortaleza’s main shared bicycle system, and electronic ticketing of buses were used, and big data analysis tool and GIS software, Geographic Information System, were used.
