THE TIME ACCESSIBILITY TO THE DESTINATION FROM THE TRANSIT NODE

Abstract

Several types of transport integrates transit nodes. Transit nodes are located in built-up areas, inside cities or on the outskirts of cities, urban agglomerations. Transit nodes are an important part of public passenger transport. The article is about transit nodes on the regional railway line between Bratislava and Dunajska Streda. The transit nodes are the railway stations on this line. Intercepting parking lots are part of the transit nodes outside large cities. It is important to compare travel times from source to destination using private car with other modes of public transport. Another option is to compare the times of using private car to the intercepting parking lot at the railway station with a train-transit and using private car from the source to the destination. In public passenger transport is necessary to prefer regional railway lines with accessible stations. These regional railway lines connect the surrounding villages and small towns with large cities. Large cities are mostly destinations of ways. Each railway station should have a intercepting parking lot. Intercepting parking lots at railway stations that are further away from large cities are more effective. Stations on regional railway lines with intercepting car parks closer to large cities are less effective. Because the difference in time accessability to the destination between the use of the intercepting parking lot with the train station with a train-transit and the use of a private car is minimal.
