This study aims at determining whether an unequivocal relation exists between the station as a transport junction and the station as a business location. One required effect is the observed clustering of office activities around the stations. Since local policy explicitly aims at concentrating activities with high visitors and labour intensity around stations. An unwanted effect is that stations appear to have no effect on the development of business establishments and hardly changed the modal split of employees in either business or home to work traffic. A final remark is that for the development of station zones the attention should not be limited to access the public transport, but include access by car transport, but include access by car and parking facilities. Then the greatest structuring effect of station zones can be expected. (A)
