Encouraging Collective Land Transport: Doubling Mobility for European Citizens
In the pursuit of enhancing public transport, the European Passengers Federation aims to cultivate a modal shift towards environmentally friendly transportation options. By promoting informed choices, facilitating ease of travel, and providing transparent information, the Federation seeks to encourage greater uptake of collective land transport. Through initiatives like multimodal interchanges and accessible journey planning, the Federation envisions a future where diverse modes of transportation seamlessly coexist to benefit all travelers.

WHAT IS THE EUROPEAN PASSENGERS FEDERATION? founded 2002 the European umbrella organisation of national and regional passengers organisations dealing with all modes of public transport such us local transport, railways, buses, aviation and maritime transport aims to see environmentally friendly transport gaing greater market share
ENCOURAGING MODAL SHIFT THROUGH CHOICE AND EASE Informed choice between speed and cheapness Passengers need to know what to expect Multimodal interchanges accessible to all Journey chain should be easy to research, plan and book Operators must have a Plan B if things go wrong.
< HORSES FOR COURSES> Choose the most suitable means for YOU Example: on July 6ththree Englishmen went to a meeting in Utrecht, using different modes of transport: SIMON went by coach Norwich London; London Rotterdam; then train DONALD took 4 trains, Birmingham London; London - Brussels; Brussels Rotterdam; Rotterdam Utrecht TREVOR went rail/sea/rail - on one ticket!
NOT ALL TRAVELLERS ARE THE SAME Experienced travellers usually know what to do, how to find out, how to book. The less experienced need independent advice and/or a comprehensive journey-planner, giving a reasonable choice. It is the less experienced who must be persuaded to use public transport if we are to achieve real modal shift.
HELP THEM ON THEIR WAY Transparent, simple pricing. No hidden extras! Multimodal hubs (Not a car park on the edge of town or a back street) Accessibility for PRMs from which everyone benefits Clear real-time information about onward journeys or delays Seamless through ticketing where possible (e.g. British PlusBus; or multimodal zonal tickets)
KOCH REPORT ON MULTIMODAL INFORMATION AND BOOKING SYSTEMS We in EPF welcomed this report which the European Parliament accepted in the summer. We are doing our own survey of good and bad practice in multimodal ticketing, especially for international journeys. Watch this space!
