Activity 5 Transport, job accessibility and daily mobility
Some results (comparison between three metropolises):
Major trends in modal split
Public transport at
the boundary of the
city
Autolib (electric car Grand Paris Express
sharing system) and
Vélib (bicycle sharing
system)
Bus
transport
on
demand in Roissy
New solutions
Paris
Successful in reducing the car
share and increasing the public
transport share between 2000
and 2007 but still high rate of
motorization and car usage
Berlin
Share of public transport in
modal split at the stable high
level. The rate of motorization is
only 324 cars/1000 inh.

Warsaw
Share of public transport is at
the stable and relatively high
level but the rate of motorization
is increasing (more than 500
cars/1000 inh.)

Reccomendation: Activity 5 Transport, job accessibility and daily mobility
All means of transport should be managed by one integrated authority
Paris
Syndicat des transports d’Ile-de-France (STIF) defines and organizes public transport
services for the Ile-de-France Region
integrated public transport services and integrated fare policy
public transport tax paid by companies in the metropolitan area
Berlin
tariff regulations in the Berlin- Brandenburg region organized by Verkehrsverbund BerlinBrandenburg (VBB) (public transport authority owned and controlled by the states of Berlin
and Brandenburg)
tariff consistent for the whole region and applies to all modes of transportation
Warsaw
lack of integrated public transport system at the regional or metropolitan level; (Warsaw
Public Transport Authority is a budgetary unit of the Capital of Warsaw)
three important public services operating at different spatial scales;
problem of cost allocation between Warsaw and other suburban municipalities
(agglomeration ticket)
Activity 5 Transport, job accessibility and daily mobility
Reccomendations:
All means of transport managed by one integrated authority
Contracting and tendering public transport services
Energy efficient modes of transport
Integrated passenger information
Integrated tickets for metropolitan regions
Passengers with reduced mobility with better access to public transport
Thank you very
much for your
attention!!!
