TP3- Railway mobility
Railway mobility should be developed in
compliance with the movement of individual
vehicles for interurban travels, taking into
account certain conditions, as follows:
• Multi-modal stations should be located in
the primary access axes of urban centres,
becoming accessible to all social strata, and to
perform a full flow management. Each urban
/ rural centre should create the multimodal
movement poles, based on the combination
of strategic axes of the regional movement,
urbanized areas, tourist areas, economic
development technological areas and
recreational areas.
• The hierarchy of multimodal stations should
respond to the hierarchy and functions of
urban centres: Metropole, primary centres,
secondary centres, tertiary centres, local
centres.
• Railway stations should offer opportunities
for the exchange of transport modes such as
parking for individual vehicles, cabs, rental
cars, bicycles etc.
• The line ministry and municipalities of the
metropolitan region should develop incentive
policies for the application of the regional
integrated ‘e-ticket’, as well as instruments for
facilitating the use of rapid rail transport
• The development of physical infrastructure
should ensure fast movement, bordering
spaces, such as physical barriers and
