The basic philosophy of ENERQI is that an increase in public transport usage can be achieved if the Public Transport (PT) quality of services is improved and this is recognized and acknowledged by passenger’s satisfaction. To prove this, a (common) methodology for “real time” monitoring PT quality and passenger satisfaction in several EU countries will be developed in ENERQI. As a first step in the development of a common ENERQI methodology, this “state of the art report on best practices” has been made, with regard to measuring PT quality and customer satisfaction in Europe and the world today. How was the review carried out Best practices found in the literature on customers satisfaction surveys in 48 different mostly European sources and on the internet were analysed. For example the European BEST and QUATTRO projects provided valuable information. In addition to this, case studies from 12 European countries related to the (quality of) public transport systems where examined (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Ireland, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and the UK). Customers satisfaction surveys: how to apply the theory to ENERQI First of all, if we look at the theory behind customers satisfaction surveys, we can

  • Training Course
    KA1 – MOBILITY OF YOUTH WORKERS 2019-2-EL02-KA105-005118 TRAINING COURSE “European Values Equalizers” Trikala, Greece 25 Aug – 3 Sep 2021 ABOUT THE PROJECT The project "European Values Equalizers" is a residential Training Course that will take place in the city of Trikala, Greece, between 25 August to 3 September 2021, with the participation of 10 partner organizations from Greece, Croatia, Italy, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine. The project will include 30 youth workers and youth leaders (3 participants per country), 2 trainers and 2 support staff. SUMMARY In today’s society very often we are dealing with the discussions about what are European values, what defines us as Europeans, do we talk about values which are practiced and respected only in European Union or in Europe in general? As this is the topic which is very often and which very often confuse young people but also about which we don’t care enough, especially today in time of globalization. If we take a look in knowledge which young people are gaining through the formal education in their schools and universities, mostly they don’t even mention European values as something on what we should pay attention and something what we should promote and use in our everyday life. On the other side, if we open media articles today, we will find a lot of significant titles related with discrimination, radicalization and violence of human rights all around the world. If we start to work with young people on education about European values and promotion of European values such as tolerance, respect of human rights, antidiscrimination, equality, democracy and rule of law, we are sure that we can prevent youth radicalization, discrimination and violence of human rights but also we can take part in creation of better future of our common European society.

  • Greece CSD-Chapter III-Transport
    Chapter III: Trans port CHAPTER III: Transport ¦ Introduction Greece has made extensive use of European Union (EU) structural and cohesion funds in relation to transport planning and works ; therefore transport policy objectives are closely aligned with EU priorities. The completion of the national transport system, with emphasis on Trans-European corridors so as to improve accessibility thoughout the country and to make Greece a major transport node for Eastern Mediterranean, has been a major objective and a driving force of relevant funding. The promotion of combined transport alternatives (e.g. commercial freight centres), the restructuring of the system and its operation in alignment with EU legislation and best practices and the reduction of environmental impacts by land an d sea transport projects are also among the top priorities. A major programme of highways construction has been under way for the past two decades, financed with funds from the public sector (incl. EU support funds) and private funds. This will help cut travel times, enhance safety conditions and decrease transportation costs for all companies and individuals, thereby increasing competitiveness of Greek products and services. Marine transport is also a major component in the Greek transport mix, due to the country’s geography. Greece has 889 ports (commercial, tourist, fishing or mixed) of which 138 are considered major ports, which however, still require significant infrastructure upgrades to be able to cope with summer months’ peak loads. During the past decade transport volumes increased considerably and steadily, for both passengers and freight. The share of road transport and particularly private cars in the modal split increased as well.

  • The Impact of a Transit Strike on the Traffic Patterns in the Athens Road
    THE IMPACT OF A TRANSIT STRIKE ON THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS IN THE ATHENS ROAD NETWORK Dimitris Sermpis (contact author) Traffic Engineer, Ph.D. e-mail: [email protected] 68 Dodekanisou Street, Vrilissia, 15235, Athens Tel: + 30 210 6132628 Charilaos Babis Traffic Engineer, M.Sc. e-mail: [email protected] 75 Dodekanisou Street, Vrilissia, 15235, Athens Tel: + 30 210 8030950 Ioannis Theofilis Traffic Engineer, Head of the Athens Traffic Management Center e-mail: [email protected] 102-108 3rd September Street, Athens Tel: + 30 210 8215780 Fax: +30 210 8230601 ABSTRACT 1 The transportation system of a big city like Athens relies heavily on Public Transport. This paper estimates the effect of the transit strike that took place in Athens on the road network of the city. The analysis was based on a before and after comparison of the traffic data of traffic flow, time occupancy and average speed collected from the loops of the main arterial roads. The estimated impact indicated both quantitatively and qualitatively an early start and a late finish of the three peak-hour periods, a development of extra congestion and a change in the drivers’ preferences. 1. INTRODUCTION Public Transport strikes are expected to have an effect on traffic. Such strikes have taken place in many big cities such as Paris, London, Lyon, New York and Los Angeles. Various studies have been carried out to quantify the effect of a strike on traffic, but they have mainly been concerned with either the change in the modal split of the trips (Marmo, 1990; Blumstein and Miller, 1983; PbIVVS, 1984; Bonsall and Dunkerley, 1997;) or with the total change in traffic volume (Crain and Flynn, 1975) and the extension of the peak-hour periods (Coindet, 1995; Lapierre, 1998; Lo and Hall, 2006).
