Özet
This study investigates the key determinants influencing the integration of metro systems and bike-sharing services in İzmir, Turkey, based on data collected from 489 participants across nine stations. A face-to-face survey was conducted to capture users’ socio-demographic characteristics, travel patterns, cycling experience, and perceptions of metro–bike-sharing integration. Descriptive statistics were first employed to identify general behavioral trends, followed by a binary logistic regression model to determine the statistically significant factors affecting the likelihood of choosing an integrated metro–bike-sharing trip. The results indicate that cycling experience, bike ownership, and prior use of bike-sharing systems significantly increase the probability of preferring integration, while motor vehicle ownership and longer access distances reduce this likelihood. Younger individuals, students, and frequent commuters demonstrate stronger adoption potential. Perceived barriers such as safety concerns and inadequate cycling infrastructure also negatively affect willingness to integrate. Overall, the findings highlight the role of metro–bike-sharing integration in addressing first- and last-mile challenges and supporting sustainable urban mobility, offering policy-relevant insights for strengthening multimodal transport systems.
