In this thesis a transport system is sought after that if realised in the city of Uppsala could provide both well-being to all its inhabitants and sustainability, here jointly refered to as liveability. It is found that the car dominated transport system that is in operation today provides two fundamental values, namely accessibility in both time and space, which sets it apart from other transport solutions. These two values are of immense importance for the liveability in our modern world. On the other hand the car dominated system decreases the liveability of Uppsala in several different ways. Some of these problems, it is argued, could be solved within the car system, through the adoption of more environmentally friendly cars etc., but other problems are inherent in the car system and will remain no matter what changes are made. An alternative transport system is therefore sought that has the two benefits of the car system and is free from the problems of the car system. Such a system is identified, the bicycle supported light rail system, where the rail system is planned so that people should go to the stations by bike. By increasing the radius of accessibility around each station by three and the area by nine this system can also lower the amount of rail by to a third, can assure three times as frequent departures from each station and can lower the total amount of stations to a ninth, all compared to regular collective transport systems. |
