Abstract:Shared bikes and metro systems intertwine to enhance low-carbon urban mobility, yet their diverse interactions, including connectivity, substitution, and gap-filling, pose untapped potential for sustainable transport. This study pioneers a multi-scale spatiotemporal weighted regression (MSTWR) model, using Shanghai's trip data, to outperform geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) by 18% with tailored bandwidths, revealing how residential zones and bicycle lanes enhance connectivity in morning peaks. High metro density unexpectedly curbs substitution, while mixed land use subtly dampens bike usage with varied transit options. Environmentally, shared bikes in Shanghai's central district reduce approximately 143.81 tons of daily CO2 emissions, with connective trips dominating at 48.32%. While usage-phase emissions offset 31.42% of the total benefits, presenting a striking operational challenge. This study advances sustainable mobility theory by uncovering scale-sensitive interaction mechanisms and proposes actionable strategies integrating infrastructure investment, land use planning, and behavioral incentives to achieve carbon neutrality goals.
