Taxi is an indispensable urban traffic mode in small cities. However, there are limited efforts focusing on explaining traffic congestion or resident commuting from a perspective of land use in small cities. This study attempts to reveal the spatio-temporal dynamics of resident trip activities from the aspect of urban functional features. Based on the GPS taxi data, we build a set of temporal GWR models on an hourly basis, which indicates that urban facilities have various effects on the pick-up and drop-off events during different daytime periods. Nine facilities, including coach station, supermarket, restaurant, residential area, karaoke, hotel, hospital, bank and administrative center, have been observed to be the critical elements to explain the ridership variations. A spatio-temporal mechanism has been proposed based on the discovery that facilities with different urban functions have different impacts on resident trip demands. In contrast to the large cities, the trip activities of residents are spatially and temporally various in the small cities. The primary traffic demands are commuting activities, commerce, entertainment and intercity transfers. More rush hours, especially the “noon rush” and “midnight rush”, are revealed in small cities. The results provide valuable insights for quantitatively predicting the taxi demand as a function of the spatio-temporal variables, which may have implications on the traffic demand management and the urban planning of small cities.
