Recent news suggest the importance of studying the roles of public transit and mobility-on-demand services in competition and cooperation. We developed an integrated dynamic platform that can incorporate transit rides as a leg in the MOD service and showed that for certain scenarios (such as Manhattan trips from Long Island via LIRR) the MOD services will naturally converge to providing feeder access because it is more cost-effective. Joint work (NYU/LISER) with Tai-Yu Ma, Saeid Rasulkhani, and Sylvain Klein. Funding support from the Luxembourg National Research Fund (INTER/MOBILITY/17/11588252) and NSF CMMI-1634973.
