Exploring the Built Environment Factors in the Metro That Influence the Ridership and the Market Share of the Elderly and Students

The metro has developed rapidly in the past two decades and has become one of the crucial patterns of transportation for urban residents in China. Many studies have explored the factors affecting metro ridership, but few have focused on the metro usage of specific groups, such as the elderly and stu...
