The continuous exchange of best practices between the CAPRICE partners resulted in the drawing up of a Good Practice Guide whose aim is to disseminate recommendations on the European level on how to set up an integrated public transport system in metropolitan areas.
During seven combined workshops and site visits, the CAPRICE partners have drawn conclusions based on the following themes:
the organisation and financing of public transport;
the tendering and contracting of passenger transport services;
sustainable energy and implementation of clean vehicles in public transport;
integrated passenger information;
integrated ticketing;
public transport planning for integrated services of improved quality;
accessibility for people with specific needs.
All discussions related to the good practices in the different areas have been summed up in the Decision Maker’s Guide.
CAPRICE project’s best practices are meant to be practical and effective. They should contribute to apply measures that match the major priorities identified in the urban mobility action plan issued by the European Commission on 30 September 2009.
