  1. Public transportation keeps us moving! • Peter Pels,member of the Provincial Parliament of Flevoland; chairman of the parliamentary committee on issues related to mobility and employment.

  2. Flevoland, an introduction • Flevoland is a Dutch province with appr. 400.000 inhabitants • Annual growth approx. 10.000 inhabit. • Rural identity • Centrally located in Europe

  3. Flevoland: close to the Amsterdam area Almere Amsterdam

  4. New towns and villages • Almere • Lelystad • Emmeloord • Dronten • Zeewolde • Urk (> 1,000 years old) • A number of villages

  5. 400.000 350.000+ 300.000 250.000 185.000 200.000 140.000 100.000 100.000 50.000 10.000 0 1980 1986 1994 1999 2008 2015 2030 Prognoses Almere, fastest growing new town in Europe

  6. Urban development 2025

  7. Lely’s original plan was partially executed

  8. Much of the planned infrastructure around Almere has never been built: the IJmeer-coonection is important missing link

  9. Connections • Motorways (A6 + A27) • Railway A’dam-Lelystad • Railway Lelystad-Utrecht • N23 (new regional road) • Hanzelijn (new railway, 2012)

  10. Mobility: some challenges • Growth of population • Shortage of employment: 90.000 commuters • Economic activity: 25.000 new jobs in the next years to come • Capacity infrastructure must be extended • A6 motorway and Flevo railway are to be doubled in capacity • Connecting Schiphol to Lelystad Airport • Lobby for new road en rail connections

  11. Public transportation: facts and figures • 5.9 million clients (individuals getting on a bus) • Together they travel 127 million kilometer a year • Cost effiency: 53% • Punctionality: 95% • Punishment for leaving to early or to late • Customer satisfaction: 7,3 (scale of 1-10) • Complaints: 1500 (0,1%) • Difference in peak and off peak hours

  12. Challenges for public transportation Regional “Hubs” for public transport Congestion in peak hour as a result of infrastructure overload High use of public transportation (in Almere up tot 40%) Any location can be reached by car and public transport. Differentation of rates Fight against Traffic Jam New balance between New Towns and the rural area Public/Private co-operation in public transport

  13. Different solutions on the same network • In rural areas regular bus services is complemented by collective transportation on demand • CTD is a system of -on demand- transportation from “door to door”. • You share a cab with more people and you have to order a cab at least one hour before you want to leave. • Almere: high capacity • 5 train stations • Unique system of bus lanes • Bus stop within 500 meters • High frequency busservice (3–7 min.) • In peak hours fast service to A’dam area

  14. It’s all about ambition! If this is not what we want

  15. And neither is this . . .

  16. This is probably more like it!

  17. For some of us not even the sky is the limit . . .

  18. ‘No one lives or works on a station’ • We need door-to-door solutions • The answer: smart public transport on demand • Superbus by Wubbo Ockels (Dutch former space-travellor)
