Workplaces within one hour of transport

Although intra-regional connectivity is high, in general more workplaces can be reached with one hour of car transport than with one hour of transport by public transportation. However, the difference in time savings, between driving and pub- lic transportation, depends much on the train station chosen as point of departure.
