Public Transport And Town Planning From ARetroactive Point Of View

Abstract

A cornerstone in the project has been to design a realistic public transport system alternative with a reasonable location of built-up areas, and built-up areas adapted to local manners, and with a reasonable road net and public transport network. The density of built-up areas, car ownership, parking fees and other parameters are also given realistic values. As an example, the density of population for a densely built-up housing area will not exceed the prevailing one in an existing area of the same kind. The public transport network has about the same standard regarding service frequency as the current network. Since the built-up areas in the alternative scenario are more adapted to public transport this leads to a decrease of the public transport production (vehiclekilometres).
