Approximately 300 km to the north is the Polish capital, Warsaw, and 100 km to the south are the Tatra Mountains, which form the country's southern border. The city covers an area of 327 km2. With almost 760,000 inhabitants and 200,000 visiting students, Krakow is one of the biggest cities in Poland. Its suburban area is home to an additional 400,000 inhabitants, many of whom use private cars to travel into the city centre. Picture 1.1: The location of the Municipality of Krakow in Poland, source: natropieweuropie.blogspot.com At present public transport system in Krakow consists of tram and bus systems. There are 24 tram lines, 75 urban bus lines (including 3 fast lines: 502, 503, 572; 3 supported lines: 405, 422, 451; 3 substitute lines: 704, 724, 744 and 8 night lines) and 70 suburban bus lines serving agglomeration area (including 3 fast lines: 301, 304, 352 and 4 night lines). Vehicles operating on the normal bus lines stop at every bus stop on route, while the vehicles of fast bus lines stop only at the selected bus stops on the route. All tram lines and the majority of bus lines are served by main public transport operator called Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne w Krakowie S.A. (MPK). Only 5 bus lines are served by the second operator – Mobilis Sp. zo.o. D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Krakow 3 1.2 The area geography Area which was chosen for the SmartMove project and AMC campaign realisation is a suburban area, located on the western side of the Krakow city. It includes the Liszki District consisting of a few villages with approx. 16 600 inhabitants. Analysed area includes also transportation corridor connecting western part of Krakow with the territory of the Liszki District. The whole analysed area was marked with red colour in Picture 1.2. Picture 1.2: A map of the area chosen for the SmartMove project realisation in Krakow. 1.3 Transport and mobility infrastructure offered The basic road network of the area is comprised by: Krakow Ring Roads: 7, E40 Regional Road: 780 Network of local roads connecting the smaller villages Bicycle path along the Vistula River (Picture 1.3) D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Krakow 4 Picture 1.3: A map of the area chosen for the SmartMove project realisation in Krakow with the bike path system, source: http://www.rowerem-przez-krakow.pl/mapa-sciezek-rowerowych-w-krakowie.html. 2 Socioeconomic and demographic structure In this section, the main population characteristics are being presented. The data are based on the official data of Urząd Statystyczny w Krakowie. Table 2.1: Chosen statistical data about the Liszki District, source: Urząd Statystyczny w Krakowie Chosen data 2013 Surface [km2] 72 Population 16563 Population/km2 230 Women/ 100 men 104 Population of people in an economically pre-productive age 3479 Population of people in an economically productive age 10718 Population of people beyond retirement age 2366 Population of people in an economically unproductive age/ 54,5 100 people in an economically productive age Working people/ 1000 inhabitants 176 Registered unemployed people 597 The picture 2.1 displays the distribution of age for the Liszki District. It can be seen that the age of the vast majority of inhabitants is between 20 and 59. These people are the ones who are studying or working, mostly in Krakow, so they travel every day to the city, in many cases using a car. Thus they are a perfect target group for the SmartMove project realisation. D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Krakow 5 Picture 2.1: Age distribution of population by gender; mężczyźni=men, kobiety=women, source: Urząd Statystyczny w Krakowie. As far as the gender distribution is concerned, there is no recognizable split. The amount of male and female inhabitants can nearly be considered as 50:50. The table 2.2 presents the number of kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools in the Liszki District as well as number of pupils/students in particular types of educational institutions. They can be also considered as a target groups for the AMC campaign as they travel to educational places every day and can also influence their parents’ mobility behaviours. Table 2.2: Chosen statistical data about education in Liszki District, source: Urząd Statystyczny w Krakowie Chosen data 2010/11 2012/13 2013/14 Kindergartens 17 19 19 Pupils in kindergartens 451 567 612 Primary schools 10 10 10 Pupils in primary schools 953 953 936 Secondary schools 2 2 2 Students in secondary 475 383 399 schools D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Krakow 6 3 Local public transport systems 10 bus lines (no. 100, 109, 209, 229, 239, 249, 259, 269, 352, 605) exist in the analysed area, including one night line – 605. Lines number 100 and 109 are urban lines, whereas the rest of the lines are suburban lines. All above mentioned lines (except line number 352) stop on the “Salwator” bus terminus which is a starting point of the analysed transportation corridor. The buses operating on these lines (except lines number 100 and 352) go to the western part of Krakow (to the edge of Krakow, serving the same its western suburban area). The line number 352 is a fast suburban line starts its route in the city area, at Przyjaźni St. and ends in the Kryspinów village. Line number 100 is a line which serves recreational areas of Krakow with the terminus on Kościuszko Mound. The picture 3.1 shows routes of bus lines in the analysed area, while the picture 3.2 presents simplified diagram of the analysed lines. “Salwator” tram terminus is located next to bus terminus. All tram lines which start at the “Salwator” tram terminus (no. 1, 2, 71) go the city centre of Krakow. The “Salwator” is an interchange, on which the commuters from suburban areas can change the bus into the tram in order to reach the city centre of Krakow. Thus bus lines described above constitute a feeder system for the tram lines. Increase in bus transport usage in trips made by inhabitants of analysed area will result in increase in number of passengers at tram lines connecting western Krakow areas with the city centre. Picture 3.1: Routes of the bus lines in the analysed area. D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Krakow 7 Picture 3.2: Simplified diagram of the analysed bus line routes. In weekdays the average frequency of the bus lines is 1-2 per hour in peak hours and once per hour in off-peak period. The greatest number of vehicle trips per day in weekdays is carried out on the lines number 229 and 249 (27 vehicle trips per day in the weekday). The greatest number of vehicle trips per day on Saturdays and Sundays is done on lines number 239 and 249 (14 vehicle trips). The greatest number of stops is served by lines number 249 (22 stops) and 259 (20 stops). Detailed information about bus lines operation is shown in Table 3.1.

All buses are low – floor vehicles and have got standard equipment as well as information about passenger rights, tariffs, bus routes, etc. Additional, vehicle of line number 100 is equipped with bike carrier since this line serves recreational areas. There are around 98 stops in the analyzed corridor (97 bus stops and 1 tram stop at „Salwator” tram terminus). Picture 3.3 presents location of these stops. Picture 3.3: Location of stops in the analysed corridor. All analyzed stops were characterized in terms of presence of: Roof (sheltered stops) Lighting (lighting at stop or at the street within a distance of 10-20 metre) Pavement Bus bay Seats Information about public transport operation (timetables, maps, real-time information) Ticket machine Only 38% of analyzed stops are roofed and more than half of the stops do not have shelters, which is a reason for lack of comfort for passengers waiting for the vehicle during bad weather conditions and may discourage them to travel by public transport modes.

  • Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
    Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan.

  • Barrio Logan Trolley Station
    REGIONAL MOBILITY HUB IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY Barrio Logan Trolley Station Mobility hubs are transportation centers located in smart growth areas served by high frequency transit service. They provide an integrated suite of mobility services, amenities, and technologies that bridge the distance between transit and an individual’s origin or destination. They are places of connectivity where different modes of travel—walking, biking, transit, and shared mobility options—converge and where there is a concentration of employment, housing, shopping, and/or recreation. This profile sheet summarizes mobility conditions and demographic characteristics around the Barrio Logan Trolley Station to help inform the suite of mobility hub features that may be most suitable. Barrio Logan is one of San Diego’s oldest and most culturally significant neighborhoods and job centers. The community is located south of Downtown San Diego and is adjacent to San Diego Bay’s bustling maritime industry. The Barrio Logan Trolley Station offers residents and employees connections to local restaurants and retailers, Chicano Park, and the San Diego Continuing Education César E. Chávez Campus. The station provides access to the UC San Diego Blue Line and a high frequency, late operating local bus route. The map below depicts the transit services, bikeways, and shared mobility options anticipated to serve the community in 2020. 2020 MOBILITY SERVICES MAP In 2020, a variety of travel options will be available within a five minute walk, bike, or drive to the Barrio Logan
