MORE ATTRACTIVE PUBLIC TRANSPORT: LESS TRANSFERRING WHEN THERE ARE TWO LINES ON ONE BRANCH

With the intention of decreasing the number of passengers changing from one line on to another a study has been carried out into possibilities of two lines per branch of the public transport network in The Hague. The research led to a design for the public transport network in The Hague having in general more than one line per branch. In the network designed there are more than 50 per cent fewer passengers needing to change, together with an increase in the number of passengers by 13 per cent, in comparison with a network using the same infrastructure but with only one line per branch.
