Abstract

With increasing concern about PM\(_{2.5}\), global warming, greenhouse gas emissions and the problem of the “last mile”, the public bicycle system is gaining importance as viable mode in urban transportation worldwide. In order to more successfully promote the public bicycle to the residents, it is obviously necessary to understand in-depth what can affect the residents’ usage of public bicycle. The study elicit the influence of demographic, attitude towards the behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control on the usage of public bicycle. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the binary logistic model, the paper conclude that the variable of gender, age, occupation and income are closely contacted with the usage of public bicycle. And the education qualification has a little effect on it. And there are significant relationship between usage public bicycle and environmental friendly, flexible, find-time, cleanness, the bicycle lanes, signals for cyclist, suitable weather.
