What makes a successful urban interchange?: results from an evidence review

The City-HUB project (a European Commission 7th framework programme research project) aims to contribute to the design and operation of seamless, smart, clean and safe intermodal public transport systems. This paper presents findings from the first few stages of the project, which through various tasks, have identified the numerous factors that need to come together to make a successful interchange. The methods used include literature reviews (covering research, policy and guidelines), 18 practitioner interviews (with transport operators, local transport authorities and the business community involved in planning, designing and operating successful interchanges) and surveys of passengers at interchanges across Europe.
