[sustran] Reading List on Public Transport Integration

[SUTP Team]

Travelling from A to B by public transport in any major city most often 
involves some kind of mode change. While such transfers are necessary 
even in the most sophisticated transport networks, there are some 
principles that make a journey by different forms of public transport as 
seamless as possible.

Summarized here under the term Public Transport Integration, these 
measures aim at facilitating the use of any public transport mode 
available in a city or region to reach one’s destination. Prominent 
features of Public Transport Integration include, for example, one 
single ticket for the whole journey, adequate transfer facilities, and 
coordinated schedules of different transport modes.

This document aims at providing the reader with an overview of relevant 
literature on Public Transport Integration. Issues range from 
organizational and institutional aspects – e.g. how an integration of 
different operators can be achieved and which role authorities may play 
– to more technical aspects, such as the development of integrated 
ticketing systems. The reading list is organized as follows:

•    General literature

•    Case studies including includes best practices and projects from 
countries around the world

•    Links to related projects, organizations and selected actors in the 
field of Public Transport Integration
