Innovative Cycling Facilities for Interchanges (EU)

This guideline provides an outline of the benefits and costs of installing cycling facilities at public transport interchanges. The document was published in 2010 by the EU project NICHES which aims to promote innovative measures for making urban transport more efficient and sustainable and to move them from their current 'niche' position into a mainstream urban transport application.

The guidelines recognise that installing cycling facilities at public transport interchanges: reduces the need for car ownership and use; increases the combined usage of public transport and bicycles; and helps the shift towards sustainable modes. The document provides advice about the installation of facilities such as bicycle parking and public bicycle docking from concept, to installation to operation.

It includes case studies form the Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary and the UK.
