Tensions Between Bicycles and Public Transport - 1993

A paper to Velocity conference, Nottingham, September 1993.

It explores the potential for mode shift and highlights an apparent choice between boosting cycling and boosting public transport use. None of the cities studied had above average shares of both modes.

Also examined is the relationship between cycling and buses on the street. It suggests that increasing cycling where there are no segregated cycle tracks can bring major disadvantages to both bus operation, and bus passengers.
