4.2 Concentration Secondly, urban facilities such as housing, places of employment and leisure centres can be situated closer to the station, and/or at a greater density. Figure 4 shows that on both the arrivals and departures side, the need for the use of access and egress modes can be eliminated - and with it a lot of inconvenience. In addition to reducing journey times, the poorly valued transfer time is reduced. Transfer becomes simply a matter of getting on and of the train. The added value is achieved by focusing on speed and convenience in the pyramid. High origin destination time value train journey boarding alighting Low time spent Figure: Concentration: adding value to the journey by developing origins and destinations in the vicinity of stations. 4.3 Enhancement The third way to add value to the rail passengers’ journey is to enhance the value of time of the least-valued elements. Figure 5 shows that by making waiting and transferring pleasant and beneficial experiences, the intrinsic value of the transportation chain increases. This is achieved by offering opportunities - both in the train and at the station - to take part in activities that are valued highly. In this way we address, the need to provide comfort and a pleasant experience as illustrated in the pyramid of customers’ wishes. 12 EIE/07/291/SI2.466803
High origin destination time value access mode transfer train journey transfer egress mode Low time spent Figure : Enhancement: adding value to the journey by making travelling and transferring more pleasant experiences. It appears that the evaluation of the door-to-door journey can be increased by acceleration, concentration and enhancement. These strategies, when applied to station areas, can be compared to the three criteria used by Bernick and Cevero to distinguish successful transit villages in the US from less successful ones: density, diversity and design. They concluded that the combination of a higher than average housing density, the presence of facilities, and a pedestrian friendly design of public space result in a higher use of the train and turn the station area into a pleasant area and centre for the village. 13 EIE/07/291/SI2.466803
