Jury's Report. FLUX – Golden Transport Hub Prize 2013 Jury’s report FLUX – golden transport hub prize 2013 1. Objectives and thematic focus FLUX – golden transport hub is a Swiss prize awarded annually. The award highlights the value of public transport in contributing to sustainable mobility, and emphasises the importance of ensuring the transport chain between various modes of transport. The different thematic focus chosen each year is designed to take the many facets of a transport hub into account and to highlight the design and operation of contemporary solutions. The prize honours the local authority that is jointly responsible for the design of the transport hub. The prize is awarded at the "Movimento Forum for Mobility". This year, the sponsorship of the award has been extended: it is now jointly sponsored by PostBus Switzerland Ltd, the Swiss Association of Public Transport (VöV) and the Swiss Transport Association (VCS). The motto for the seventh award is "port towns", with transport hubs being sought that are a terminus for a shipping line or have departures to at least three different destinations, that have a rail link, and that also offer other public transport services. The transfer connections between the different transport systems are the main focus of the assessment. Further considerations are the attractiveness of the transport hub in terms of its architecture and its appeal to tourists, the range of services available, route guidance and passenger information, and the quality of solutions for people with limited mobility. 2.

Nomination procedure and evaluation criteria An evaluation group comprising Gregor Ochsenbein (PostBus), Hans-Kaspar Schiesser (VöV) and Françoise Lanci (VCS) conducted an evaluation in several steps of all port towns listed in the official guide book, visited them, and suggested eight transfer hubs to the jury. On the basis of the reports submitted and the evaluation criteria, the jury nominated the following: • Romanshorn - Port • Rorschach • Wädenswil • Flüelen • Interlaken East The following criteria were applied with a detailed list of questions: • Provision of transport services • Infrastructure and facilities • Information and route guidance • Ambience, townscape and tourist appeal • Marketing and communication Accompanied by the evaluation group, the jury of specialists visited the nominated hubs before making the assessment based on a detailed list of criteria. Datum 10. Oktober 2013 Seite 3 5. Award winner 2013: Interlaken East Interlaken East train station is the terminus for trains and boats operated by the BLS and the Zentralbahn and Jungfrau railway companies. It is an important transfer and departure point and, together with the railway station Interlaken West, provides good connections to the regional, national and international route network. In addition to the importance of tourism, it serves as a transfer station for commuters, contributing to Interlaken’s attractiveness as a place to live. It is also a popular transfer point for boat connections, opening up additional tourist attractions across Lake Brienz, including the Giessbach Falls, the Brienz-Rothorn railway and the Ballenberg open-air museum. The train station and port are right next to each other, with the north exit leading to the boat landings and the south exit providing access to an excellent range of regional and local bus services. Interlaken East station was previously nominated for the FLUX award in 2007, when it impressed the jury with its quality and innovation for attractive public transport. In the meantime, further efforts have been made with regard to both the station and the area surrounding it, as well as the port facilities. The transport hub makes a good impression by consistently focussing all of its efforts on the goal of making public transport attractive and of optimising the structure of the transport chain between the different modes of transport. These efforts are apparent in terms of urban planning and architecture, and perceptible in terms of operational implementation. All transfer connections are clearly indicated, making it easy to find one’s way around. Everything is arranged logically and the route guidance solutions in place are cogent. The facilities required for people with limited mobility are complete. This is a pleasant place to transfer or to spend some time in the urban space around the station. The harbour is very easy to reach, with simple ground markers showing the way. A small building has been built with a modest outlay, offering passengers shelter from the weather, and also a small cafeteria. The information on boat schedules is clearly arranged and is in the right place. Points criticised by the jury include the design of the second underpass, which has no ramp, and the lack of a pedestrian crossings at the boat landings. Unfortunately, there is no bike rental station at the train station. The departure displays in the underpass do not yet meet the standards of other transfer hubs. Overall, there is clearly a strong resolve to turn the cantonal focus for business development for tourists, commuters and local residents into an identity-rich location which, in addition to efficiency, achieves a high level of quality and sense of safety among those who use or spend time in it. Datum 10. Oktober 2013 Seite 4 6. Appraisal of the other transport hubs Romanshorn Romanshorn today calls itself the "port city" of Romanshorn. The new name is a reference to the vibrancy that stems from being the largest port on Lake Constance. Since its construction 160 years ago for the exchange of goods, it has increasingly become a gateway for leisure and recreational activities. Romanshorn is a transport hub with short transfer connections, because the boat landings are located directly beside the train station. This situation can be fully exploited for tourist traffic. The hub is also attractive to the local population: good footpaths lead directly to the station, and there are adequate parking spaces for cyclists. There is a Park & Ride facility to the east of the station which is accessed for the most part through areas in which noise is not an issue, so that neither residential areas nor the town centre are affected by heavy traffic. There are plans for major developments in the area around the station in the near future. One of these plans is to create a bus station in front of the train station adjacent to the meeting area. Another is to create a new pedestrian and bicycle underpass with access to the platforms. This new connection is also designed to provide access to the development area located to the south-east of the station. Romanshorn wins one over with its well-thought-out development strategy for the station area, its short distances and its excellent transport services. The route guidance solutions are good, and the facilities are accessible to people with limited mobility. However, the signs at the boat landings are partially concealed in some cases, so that the way to the attractively designed ticket office is not immediately apparent. In front of the station, the bus stops are not easy to find. Information about the boat landings and schedules is not immediately apparent on the municipality’s official website. The quality of the signage in the station and harbour areas only partially meets today’s standards. Overall, the facilities make a positive impression, with excellent use of space and persuasive development strategies which will undoubtedly increase their attractiveness to tourists. Rorschach - Port In terms of architectural history, the port of Rorschach is the most important place on the canton’s Lake Constance shore, as it is here, and at a very favourable location, that the Kornhaus – the granary from which the Abbey of St. Gall was supplied – can be found. With the demolition of the goods shed in 2006, the area around the Kornhaus was cleared, creating an attractive new space that enhances the whole area, and Datum 10. Oktober 2013 Seite 5 turning the harbour area into the largest square in the town. The train station and port facilities are located directly beside each other, allowing excellent transfer connections. The area will be home to a particularly striking enhancement in the form of the planned port building to be constructed as part of the lakeside development strategy. It is designed to create improvements in terms of leisure activities, especially in the restaurant sector, and in infrastructures such as customs, shelter from the weather for travellers, toilet facilities and parking for bicycles. The hub has a dynamic ambience and a very attractive location, on the one hand through its proximity to the town centre, museums and beach, and on the other through its historic buildings, which lend the town its distinctive character. In terms of signage, the cogently designed pedestrian control system is worthy of special mention. Information about the boat landings and schedules is not immediately apparent in some cases on the municipality’s official website. Some specific aspects relevant to a hub with multimodal transfer connections will only be covered with the completion of the new port building. These include for example the current lack of toilet facilities for people with impaired mobility. The forthcoming project will further enhance the town’s attractiveness as a transport hub. Wädenswil Starting with shipping, Wädenswil has always been a major public transport hub.

  • Real Rail Adventures: Switzerland Switzerland
    Real Rail Adventures: Switzerland TRANSCRIPT Jeff Wilson-On Camera: Hi, I’m Jeff Wilson, and I love trains! I’ve always been fascinated with figuring out how things work, so to me trains are irresistible—the history, the variety, the technical ingenuity. And if there’s one place that’s guaranteed to make a rail fan’s dreams come true, it has to be Switzerland! Jeff Voice-Over: Join me as crisscross a nation that seems to love trains as much as I do. Next, on Real Rail Adventures: Switzerland. Jeff OC: Why do people love trains? Is it the adrenaline rush of big machines, surging against probability up a mountainside? Jeff VO: Is it the thrill of exploration—the way they can slice through remote areas, giving us up-close views of inaccessible landscapes? Jeff VO: Maybe it’s the nostalgia, the echoes of a time gone by when trains were the lifeblood of everyday people and the station the center of every town. Jeff OC: Or maybe we love trains because they’re just plain fun! Jeff VO: As an author and host of home improvement TV shows, I’ve had lots of adventures travelling across the US. Now I’m looking for even more adventure around the world. And I can think of no better way to travel than by train.
