Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the characteristics of multimodal trips in The Netherlands. Multimodal transport has a small share of all trips, nearly 3%. This share increases if typical trip types are considered, for instance, 20% of interurban trips to the main cities in the Netherlands, or 80% of all train trips. The share of multimodal trips has increased in the past ten years, which is partly due to the introduction of the `Students Public Transport-Card'. More detailed analysis shows that multimodal trips are far from homogeneous. It has been found that the availability of vehicles and transport systems play an important role in the various combinations of modes. (A)
