Combining cycling with public transport provides a viable alternative to the private car for many medium and long distance journeys. Public transport operators are increasingly recognising the potential of encouraging cycling to and from their stations.
This section covers the promotion of combined cycle / public transport journeys, routes to interchanges, facilities at interchanges and carriage on public transport, together with the inclusion of cyclists in the design of bus priority measures and LRT schemes.
