THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY AND THE BUS CAN REPLACE PRIVATE CARS

LE METRO ET L'AUTOBUS PEUVENT SUPLEER LA VOITURE PARTICULIERE

The author considers the effects of a possible energy crisis on urban transport in the Paris region, and the role that public transport would have to play to fulfil part of the demand normally fulfilled by the private car. Various solutions are proposed, depending on the form the energy crisis would take. The capacity of buses not being fully utilized, traffic conditions could be improved by staggering working hours and improving parking facilities. /TRRL/
