The assignment is focused on the sustainable and environmentally friendly aspects of public transport systems. The report goes on to explore how green and sustainable public transport truly is, and how we can make people between the ages of 18 to 29 play a bigger part in slowing down the global CO₂ emissions by choosing public transportation. In this project we have conducted two interviews to gather knowledge on the danish youth, in terms of their use of public transportation. We have come to learn that the youth disregard the environmental benefits that public transport has to offer due to prioritizing convenience and simplicity. Therefore we designed an explainer video with the purpose of making public transport seem appealing for the youth, based on their opinions.

  • The Influence of Political Structures and Local Community Engagement on Placemaking in Train Stations a Case Study of Glostrup M
    The influence of political structures and local community engagement on placemaking in train stations A case study of Glostrup Multifunctional Station Sustainable Cities Thesis Aalborg University of Copenhagen Mohammad Ghannam Study No. 2094407 Date: October 2th, 2019 Abstract Traditionally the development of a train station focuses on transportation manners for commuters. The challenge in modern train stations is the quality of the public space, which adds value to citizens through sustainable measures. It is crucial to strengthen participation for better development of train stations. There is a lack of involvement, and throughout the thesis, it is demonstrated that the argument is two- folded. The first one is local, about local development, inclusion, and achieving locally sustainable objectives. The other is about the system level. In order to handle the urbanization, new ways of governing are fundamental to achieve an optimal train station that comprehends all aspects of the transportation system. In a paradigm of transport where time-travel is at the center, there is not enough focus on the quality of the trip as a whole for people. The quality of the space is affected by the existing infrastructure that puts some limitations on the recreation of the place. Other challenging aspects of urban spaces, at the stations, are better transport modes, energy-efficiency, pollution reduction and policy framework. The focus on train stations is relevant for the development of sustainable cities since it offers quality of life, efficient connectivity, optimal and innovative use of public spaces and reduction of human footprint. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the influence of the political structure and the local community concerning strengthening placemaking in train stations.

    AFGØRELSE FRA ANKENÆVNET FOR BUS, TOG OG METRO Journalnummer: 2012-0102 Klageren: XX 5700 Svendborg Indklagede: DSB S-tog A/S Klagen vedrører: Refusion af taxaregning på 182 kr. grundet forsinkelse. Ankenævnets sammensætning: Nævnsformand, landsdommer Tine Vuust Ingrid Dissing (2 stemmer) Lise Bjørg Pedersen Torben Steenberg SAGSFREMSTILLING: Klageren reklameret til indklagede: 8. marts 2012. Klagegebyr modtaget i ankenævnet: 16. marts 2012. Sagens omstændigheder: Klageren skulle den 5. marts 2012 rejse fra Glostrup til Svendborg. Grundet hærværk blev klage- rens S-tog mellem Glostrup station og Høje Taastrup station aflyst, og det efterfølgende tog med planlagt ankomst 20 minutter efter, blev 10 minutter forsinket. Ifølge klageren var hun nødt til at tage en taxa fra Glostrup station til Høje Taastrup station for at nå sine videre forbindelser, herunder den sidste forbindelse fra Nyborg til Svendborg. Taxaturen blev påbegyndt klokken 20:58 og afsluttet klokken 21:09 og beløb sig til 182 kr., som klageren den 8. marts 2012 søgte refunderet hos DSB S-tog. DSB S-tog afviste den 9. marts 2012 klagerens krav. DSB S-tog henviste til deres forretningsbetin- gelser, hvoraf det fremgår, at der kun ydes erstatning for alternativ befordring til den DSB-station, som passageren har billet til og kun i de tilfælde, hvor passageren enten ikke kunne opnå forbin- delse til dagens sidste tog, eller hvis ventetiden fra togankomsten til næste togforbindelse var me- re end én time. DSB S-tog anførte desuden, at der skal gives forhåndstilsagn fra DSB, førend der kan tages en taxa, som senere kan refunderes af DSB S-tog, samt at hvis en forsinkelse er på me- re end 30 minutter, kan passagerens kompenseres i forhold til DSB Rejsetidsgaranti Basis.
