Abstract
Tramways are a sustainable and accessible mode for public transport. They promote urban development and contribute to a more attractive city. Light rail, but also public transport as a whole, is an important part of society as it is accessible to everyone and reduces the amount of cars needed. The two tramlines in Norrköping account for two thirds of public transport travel in the city. The purpose of this conceptual study is to investigate whether it is profitable to build a new tram line in Norrköping. This tram line is intended to replace current bus lines on the route. The route is based on residents´ opinions and where Norrköpings kommun has previously investigated more tramway. The route investigated is Ingelsta – Norrköpings... (More)
Tramways are a sustainable and accessible mode for public transport. They promote urban development and contribute to a more attractive city. Light rail, but also public transport as a whole, is an important part of society as it is accessible to everyone and reduces the amount of cars needed. The two tramlines in Norrköping account for two thirds of public transport travel in the city. The purpose of this conceptual study is to investigate whether it is profitable to build a new tram line in Norrköping. This tram line is intended to replace current bus lines on the route. The route is based on residents´ opinions and where Norrköpings kommun has previously investigated more tramway. The route investigated is Ingelsta – Norrköpings resecentrum – Söder Tull – Lindö. The result of the study shows that the project would result in a traveller increase of 26,6 % and a total cost of 2,13 billion SEK, which is compared to similar tramway projects in Sweden. The conclusion is that the traveller increase combined with the urban transformation of the city makes the cost of the project a worthwhile investment since the project can benefit the city in the future.
