The mobility visionThe mobility vision

Mobility is one of the key factors for quality of lifeSustainable mobility is vitalfor continuous and stable urban developmentSustainable mobility is crucialfor rapidly growing, densely populated metropolitan areas

Private Cars vs. Public TransportPrivate Cars vs. Public Transport

Private cars • High land consumption• Land planning not optimal• Not sustainable as mass transport

in dense metropolitan centers• Not affordable for all• Congestion & environmental

issues

Public Transport • Lower land demand• Integrated urban planning• High capacity systems for dense

city centers• Most economic way to transport

masses of people• Safe and environmental

Transport System Modes: OverviewTransport System Modes: Overview

Mini-busStandard busBus Rapid TransitNormal TramLight RailMetroCommuter RailLong-distance trains

Light Rail Light Rail –– The IdeaThe Idea

Tramway:

slow, low level of punctuality, impacts from other traffic modes

Metro / Underground:

Very expensive alignment, long construction period

Light Rail: advanced tram or classic light rail or light metro

Easier and cheeper to implement than a metro, higher performance than a tram, chance for stepwiseupgrading

Short term Medium term Long termAdditional passengers; more journeysCalming of traffic without impairing mobilityRelief from flowing and stationary car trafficIncreased transport safety and fewer accidentsFaster and better accessibility of centers of urban activityLess environmental damage

Stabilization of passenger volumes at a high levelUrban regeneration; improved quality of urban lifeNew development and restructuring of urban areasImprovement of the local economic structureIncreased value of property and buildings along the routeIncreased investment from the private sector

Lasting change in the modal split to Public TransitRelocation of large companiesKick-start to the construction of available housing in the City centerRegeneration of run-down residential areasIncreased intensity of buildings around stationsUse of undeveloped urban spacesStronger emphasis on local transport networks in urban planning
