Abstract:
Trains need to be effective and attractive to take a substantial
market share. An important factor is the ticket price. The
effectiveness must be increased. Operating costs can be reduced
by e.g. modular train configuration, increased space utilization,
double decekers and higher speeds. The last example, higher
speeds, also increases the attractiveness of train riding. Other
factors where stated preference interviews show that
passengers’ willingeness to pay is high: low noise and
vibration levels, good ventilation (AC), a varied seat
configuration with adjustable seats, play-areas for children and
service attributes as radio/music outlets at your seat and free
coffe and tea in each coach. The impression of modernity itself
also means a lot.
