abstract="Regarding the sharp growth rate of ICT (information and communication technology) -  based mobility services like ridesourcing, it is essential to investigate the impact  of these new mobility services on the transport mode choices, particularly on active  mobility modes like cycling. This impact is more important in the MENA context (the  Middle East and North Africa), where cycling does not constitute the main mobility  mode in the modal split of most MENA cities. This paper studies the relationship  between the regular use of ICT-based mobility services like ridesourcing and the  tendency to cycle to near destinations. This paper contains the analysis of 4431  interviews in two large cities of the MENA region (Cairo and Tehran). This research  uses logistic regression to analyze and compare the odds of cycling among regular  and non-regular users of ridesourcing by considering the socio-economic, land use,  and perception variables. The findings indicate that the odds of cycling among the  regular users of ridesourcing are 2.30 and 1.94 times greater than these odds among  non-regular ridesourcing users in Tehran and Cairo, respectively. Therefore, the  regular users of ridesourcing are more likely to cycle to their near destinations  than non-regular ridesourcing users in these cities.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
