How to Make Stations Lively Hubs for Citizens and Public Transport Users: Trends
Dive into the trends behind citizen's needs and behaviours and see how they will impact the role of the stations well into the future.
What’s in this Report?
To complement existing studies and reports on various aspects of station development for the future, this new UITP and KONE study aims at taking a fresh look at societal, technological, and economical aspects that appear to be emerging and might influence the future of stations.
Developed in the framework of the Stations of the Future project, the study focuses on mobility hubs, that are multimodal stations and serve as entry points to public transport systems but also provide ancillary services and social activities.
This present report is a first step of the study. It summarises the observations identified in existing reports and publications and is based on initial discussions with UITP stakeholders from all around the world. These observations may show changes in the behaviour and needs of citizens and public transport users and will impact the role of the stations in the future as well as any available services and functions.
