Summary:

This session explored one of the major challenges in transport node planning - barriers to interchanging. What are the issues people have with interchanging? For most people the main concerns are around: 1. Reliability - i.e. certainty of when your connection will come 2. Frequency on connecting services 3. Stop design, lighting, shelter, and safety issues. While there have been significant advances such as technology for mapping public transport (buses & trains) in real time, there is still a ways to go in terms of cities improving the experience to encourage better transport interchanging.
