Samenvatting
The annual Travel Behaviour Studies in the Netherlands give details of travel times per degree of urbanisation. The average travel time varies between 54 and 60 minutes and the distance covered lies between 20 and 28 kms. What would happen if we would have to switch from motor car to public transport? The author calculated the loss of time to be some 30 minutes per capita. Taking travel time as being fixed, mobility would decrease by 54 %.
