A growing interest in making travel by public transportation more attractive for users has resulted in renewed attention to making journeys involving more than one mode, or one carrier, easier on the passenger.

Both intercity and regional (metropolitan) examples are included, so that both private sector and government planned facilities could be examined, regional ones tending to be publicly owned. (A)
