Figure 3.3.67: Distribution of the respondents by the frequency they walk at Bryggebro.<br />

Figure 3.3.69: Distribution of the respondents by the frequency they ride a bike in<br />

Bryggebro for the main purpose mentioned in the Figure 3.3.68 after Bryggebro’s<br />

opening.<br />

The majority of the respondents at Bryggebro are between<br />

31-40 years old (32%), followed closely by respondents<br />

aged 21-30 (24%) and aged 41-50 (21%). Older respondents<br />

ranged from 51-60 years old (14%) and 61-70<br />

years old (5%). Younger respondents were aged between<br />

11-20 (2%). There were no respondents aged between<br />

0-10 years old. 2% of the respondents gave no answer.<br />

A large majority of respondents answered that they have<br />

attended a high education, for either a long high education<br />

(46%) or medium high education (31%). 8% of the<br />

respondents answered that they had attended a higher<br />

education for a short amount of time, and another 7% of<br />

respondents answered they had a vocational education.<br />

3% had receiving a public school education. 1% of the respondents<br />

gave no answer. Bryggebro’ cyclists therefore<br />

seems to be commuting to jobs that require a high level<br />

of education.<br />

Respondents were asked how often they walk at Bryggebro<br />

without bike. A majority of respondents answered less<br />

than once per month (59%). 22% walked on Bryggebro<br />

1-3 days a month, 9% answered 1-2 days a week, 7%<br />

answered 3-4 days a week. Finally, 2% stated that they<br />

walked across the bridge 6-7 days a week. This data<br />

highlights that most of Bryggebro’s cyclists do not use the<br />

site for walking.<br />

Respondents were asked how often they use their bikes<br />

for the purpose in the previous question after Bryggebro’s<br />

opening. 56 % of the respondents answered just as often<br />

as before. Notably 29% of respondents stated that they<br />

bike for that purpose much more often than before and<br />

13% said more often than before. Only 2 % answered<br />

to travel less often or much less often 1 % of the respondents<br />

gave no answer. This data indicates that Bryggebro<br />

has had an impact on the amount of travelers, and<br />

has generated more bike trips, proving the latent demand<br />

of the bridge. .<br />

in Bryggebro.<br />

Figure 3.3.70: Distribution of the respondents by the level of satisfaction with Bryggebro’s<br />

design.<br />

When asked about their gender, 50% of the respondents<br />

were women and 49% were men, with 1% giving no answer.<br />

When asked how often they ride a bike at the site, a majority<br />

of the respondents said that they use the bridge 5<br />

days per week (39%). 19% used the site 6-7 days per<br />

week, 18% said 3-4 days per week, 10% said 1-2 days<br />

per week and 8% said 1-3 days per month. Finally, 4%<br />

answered that they ride a bike at the site less than once<br />

per month. 2% of the respondents did not answers.<br />

Bryggebro, 69% answered they use the infrastructure<br />

for commuting to and from work. 9% use Bryggebro for<br />

shopping, 8% use it to commute to school, 6% answered<br />

to see friends or family, 3% for recreation, 4% said other<br />

purposes. 1% of the respondents gave no answer. This<br />

figure again solidifies Bryggebro’s purpose as infrastructure<br />

mostly used for commuting.<br />

When asked how satisfied they were with Bryggebro,<br />

56% responded to be very satisfied with the infrastructure.<br />

29% stated to be satisfied, and 4% were neutral.<br />

Of the rest, 1% said they were dissatisfied and 8% said<br />

they were very dissatisfied. 2% of the respondents gave<br />

no answer. This figure shows that most cyclists appreciate<br />

Bryggebro, but there are a few users who have major<br />

concerns with the design.<br />
