How can we help people switch from car to public transport?

Today, the treatment of public spaces is an important issue. One of the reasons for this is that the city was designed with the car in mind. There’s a tendency to right-size stations, without really thinking about intermodal spaces, such as how to park your bike or your car. All these features are essential to encourage people to switch to public transport.

A subject that is also often neglected is bicycle parking. There are only a few bicycle racks, even in recently-built stations. Yet this is a key factor in encouraging people to switch to public transport and leave their cars behind.

The aim is to offer optimum comfort for other modes of transport, particularly active modes. Walking, which is often overlooked in these considerations, is a crucial factor: the practice of walking in public spaces is of paramount importance.
