Does this model assume everyone in London has a car?
- Arnt 11y agoNo. But it does assume that some people can choose to go part of a trip by car (their own or another) and the rest on the tube, and that these mixed-mode trips affect congestion for everyone.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoBut thats only going to happen at the extreme ends of the tube system no one is going to drive further into London to park and then get the tube
- Arnt 11y agoQuoting the article: "key locations outside the city centre, where people switch transport modes, become bottlenecks" and "the underground network, for example, tends to decrease congestion centrally but increase it where the underground lines finish."
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoFrom experience The bottle necks in the tube are not the extremities like watford or finchly.
- Zuikaku 11y agoNo, but the problem is that it assumes that cars are as important as public transport which can't be further from the truth.
