Urban development 2025
Slide 7
Lelys original plan was partially executed
Slide 8
Much of the planned infrastructure around Almere has never been
built: the IJmeer- coonection is important missing link
Growth of population Shortage of employment: 90.000 commuters
Economic activity: 25.000 new jobs in the next years to come
Capacity infrastructure must be extended A6 motorway and Flevo
railway are to be doubled in capacity Connecting Schiphol to
Lelystad Airport Lobby for new road en rail connections Mobility:
some challenges
Slide 12
Public transportation: facts and figures - 5.9 million clients
(individuals getting on a bus) - Together they travel 127 million
kilometer a year - Cost effiency: 53% - Punctionality: 95% -
Punishment for leaving to early or to late - Customer satisfaction:
7,3 (scale of 1-10) - Complaints: 1500 (0,1%) - Difference in peak
and off peak hours
Slide 13
Challenges for public transportation Regional Hubs for public
transport Congestion in peak hour as a result of infrastructure
overload High use of public transportation (in Almere up tot 40%)
Any location can be reached by car and public transport.
Differentation of rates Fight against Traffic Jam New balance
between New Towns and the rural area Public/Private co-operation in
public transport
Slide 14
Different solutions on the same network Almere: high capacity 5
train stations Unique system of bus lanes Bus stop within 500
meters High frequency busservice (37 min.) In peak hours fast
service to Adam area In rural areas regular bus services is
complemented by collective transportation on demand CTD is a system
of -on demand- transportation from door to door. You share a cab
with more people and you have to order a cab at least one hour
before you want to leave.
Slide 15
Its all about ambition! If this is not what we want
Slide 16
And neither is this...
Slide 17
This is probably more like it!
Slide 18
For some of us not even the sky is the limit...
Slide 19
No one lives or works on a station - We need door-to-door
solutions - The answer: smart public transport on demand - Superbus
