HOW FAR DO YOU HAVE TO WALK TO THE BUS?

HOE VER IS HET LOPEN NAAR DE BUS?

Results are presented of a traffic and planological survey on walking distances from and to stops of public transport in the Delft conurbation. Many users of public transport ask themselves often how far it is to walk to the nearest stop. The distance behaviour in feeder transport of bus passengers is studied. The article is also a plea to design residential areas in such a way that public transport is accessible for everyone. The willingness to walk to a stop decreased as the distance to the stop increases. (TRRL)
