title = "What Can We Learn from On-Demand Transit Services for Ridership? A Case Study at the City of Regina, Canada",
abstract = "The urgent need to optimize operational efficiency, boost ridership, enlarge effective communication technologies, and improve customer convenience has led to the emergence of on-demand transit (ODT) services. ODT can be advantageous in several ways, including reliability, improving mobility, cost-effectiveness, and reducing the need for multi-transit services. This paper analyzed the trip patterns of on-demand services and the impacts on ridership by the difference-in-difference method. The pattern analyses showed that the origin{\textendash}destination flow patterns are concentrated in large commercial and dense residential areas with significantly reduced travel times including the waiting times and in-vehicle times. Furthermore, the difference-in-difference model analyses yielded positive relations between the ridership and the on-demand transit services for the overall transit network while the effects vary with specific landuse zones. Results indicated the potential of on-demand transit services to benefit passengers and ridership recovery during the pandemic and post-pandemic.",
