SERVICE LEVELS OF URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT VOLUME VII. OVERVIEW OF THE SYSTEMS OF STANDARDS

The system of standards for service levels of urban public transport in the Netherlands would need to satisfy the requirements to take account of demand, of practical feasibility and of political acceptability (the latter having yet to be decided on). One criterion which a number of large authorities felt to be very important was the policy-sensitivity in respect of land-use developments (criterion 8). Criterion 3 which is concerned with minimum standards, was considered important by, in particular, the smaller local authorities. The local authorities attached varying significance to the other criteria. Comparison of the NEI systems with those of the IPA reveals that the two groups differ in their scores on a number of points but there are fairly strong links between the systems within a single group. Neither group pays explicit attention to the objectives of land-use policy, although, as explained in section 10, they are sensitive to policy on that issue. For the other volumes of this series see IRRD 271267 to 271272. (TRRL)
