7. Intermodality is quality of life
… Valuable space of urban environment
But we should not try to ban car traffic at all !

8. Intermodality for sustainable transport
Enable Ecomobility
Limited availability and practicability
 The combination of different modes enables higher usability
On-site training: Tczew Interchange Bicycle Stations

9. Intermodal Mobility
… needs well-matched transport systems:
• Operation: system compatibility, pricing, ticketing, timetables
• Marketing
• Information
• Interchange stations
On-site training: Tczew Interchange Bicycle Stations

10. Intermodality:
The key to sustainable mobility
Catchment area and travelling time
10-minute-radius
Action scope of a dwelling site
 700 m by foot; 2 km by bike
Catchment area of a station –
 700 m by foot; 2 km by bike
Reference: „Bike & Ride“, Diegelmann/ Moser 1993
Saving time = strength of cycling
Advantages until trip distance of 5 km
 Contain strength and supply
 Raise attractivity

11. Bike and Ride
Advantages Problems
• Compatible for city and • Comport (infrastructure,
environment catchment area, tarif
system, parking facilities)
• Fast and flexible
• topography
• cheap
• Safety risk
• Physical activity and health
• Weather dependency
• Reduces stress
On-site training: Tczew Interchange Bicycle Stations

12. Bike and Ride
Three Options of using
• Pre-transport: cycling from starting point to the station
• Post-transport: cycling from station to a target (work, shopping,
school)
 eigther by taking the own bike (parked there) or a rent bike
• Complete transport: carrying bicycle from staring point to the
target by using public transport
+ highly flexible
- big request to the quality of the station and the transport
vehicle
