Greater convenience and smoother transfers
at transportation system connections |
|
It is necessary that railway
stations and other connection points between transportation systems
be more convenient and that it be easier to transfer at such connection
points in order to achieve overall public transportation that everyone
can use smoothly, but there are cases where, because various companies
and other management organizations that are in mutually competitive
relationships provide and manage these connection points, their failure
to cooperate sufficiently severely delays the improvement of such
connection points. It is, therefore, necessary to encourage cooperative
efforts by these diverse concerned parties. |

Encouraging cooperation between transportation
companies and regional residents |
|
Regional residents have begun
to independently view increasing the convenience of public transportation
as their responsibility and to undertake measures to achieve this
goal through cooperation between public transportation companies.
Because such active involvement by regional residents encourages them
to use public transportation, it is essential to provide further encouragement
to measures undertaken cooperatively by transportation companies and
regional residents. |

Need to provide information about public
transportation |
|
To improve the overall level
of public transportation, administrators must promote the provision
of a wide range of information concerning model measures. In addition,
systems to objectively evaluate whether or not the public transportation
services that transportation companies provide conform to the perspectives
of users are needed, and the provision of information including that
applying IT must be improved and expanded. |

Promoting comprehensive measures |
|
To achieve smoother use of
public transportation in a region, it is essential for all concerned
organizations in that region to work cooperatively to undertake comprehensive
projects linked to the provision of public facilities, traffic regulations,
revitalization of city centers, and urban renewal planning, and other
projects. |
