INTERCHANGE FACILITIES IN URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT. 14TH AUSTRALIAN TRANSPORT RESEARCH FORUM, PERTH 20-22 SEPTEMBER 1989; FORUM PAPERS. VOLUMES 1 AND 2

Interchanges are an integral part of an efficient and cost efficient urban public transport system. The nature of australasian cities means that the proportion of interchange journeys is higher than found in many other parts of the world. Consequently the planning of interchange facilities assumes considerable importance. The views and needs of transport users and providers, interchange management and property developers are considered in determining the priorities in interchange design. Recommendations are made based on a combination of research and experience of developing improved bus stations and bus/rail interchanges in New Zealand, Britain and Ireland. Deregulation of urban public transport can have either a positive or negative influence on the operation of interchanges, but well sited locations which represent a focal point for the area are unlikely to diminish in importance (a). For the covering record of the forum, see IRRD no 822808.
