ECOMM 2015

Session D:4 “Role of Cycling in MM“

Utrecht, on May 21st, 2015

“Competitors or Dream Team?”

More cycling for lower peak hour

workload in Public Transport?

Impressions yesterday. Cycling here this morning.

The issue: Rising passenger numbers vs. decline in public expenditures for PT

Morning peak enonomically critical

More cycling a means to moderate PT morning peak workload? But annual amplitudes increased?

Do you know surveys on that?
