ABSTRACT

In the previous chapter we saw that considerable differences in transport behavioural patterns exist between respondents living in different investigation areas. Those respondents who live in the outer parts of the metropolitan area tend to travel longer distances and carry out a higher proportion of their transport by car than is common among their inner-city counterparts. On the other hand, the latter respondents travel more by bike or foot. Apparently, the shorter travelling distances among respondents living close to central Copenhagen are related to the proximity of their dwellings to the concentration of workplaces, service facilities and leisure opportunities existing in the central districts of the city.
