6. Stretching Public Transportation Systems
Seoul U-bike (Continued) By merging U-bike with existing public transportation systems, we can expect a diffusion effect on traffic systems. With the unified Central Metro
Service available and a reduced number of bus stops, public transportation would run more efficiently, saving time and cost.
Eco-friendly, Smart bike Research
Mar 2008 - Dec 2008 When people are on foot, the distance to a bus stop needs to be less than 1 km. However, if people were on bicycles, bus companies could
eliminate short routes; thus, people would transfer less to get to their destination.
Taking U-bike on KTX (Korea’s high-speed railroad which runs over 300km/h) would allow people to travel to other cities (out of Seoul) and to other
countries (out of Korea) within one day. KTX is building the ‘Iron-Silk-road,’ which links North East Asia with Europe.
