In recently years, transit agencies have started to consider integrating ridesourcing services (i.e. on-demand, app-driven ridesharing services) with public transit. In this project, we evaluated traveler preferences for this type of integrated transit system. We find that when used to provide convenient last-mile connections, ridesourcing could provide a significant boost to transit ridership.
Key words: Ridesourcing, public transit, travel behavior, mode choice
