  abstract     = {{With the growing popularity of e-commerce, there has been a surge of

 interest in comprehending the potential impacts of e-shopping on travel

 behavior. However, as individuals may use various means of

 transportation for their shopping trips, the effect of e-shopping on

 travel modes might vary accordingly. This study aims to examine how the

 travel effect of e-shopping differs by travel mode. The data were drawn

 from face-to-face interviews with 742 respondents in Chengdu, China. The

 results reveal a substitution effect of e-shopping on shopping trips by

 all means of transportation considered in this study, including car,

 public transit, bicycle, and walking. Notably, eshopping for non-daily

 goods (i.e., clothes and books) has a greater influence on reducing

 trips by public transit than other travel modes. Meanwhile, e-shopping

 for daily goods (i.e., packaged foods and daily necessities) shows a

 greater substitution effect on walking trips. Furthermore, we identify

 several factors that influence the substitution effect of e-shopping on

 the use of travel modes. Particularly, increasing street density has

 positive implications for reducing car or walking trips, while

 increasing employment density exerts a positive influence in fostering

 the use of sustainable travel modes.}},
