Improved integration of cycling and transit has the potential to overcome the fundamental limitations of each mode by combining their opposite strengths of flexibility and action radius. The benefits of such integration potentially extend beyond user benefits and the trip level. We present seven conceptual mechanisms that lead to synergies , understood as benefits not attributable to cycling or transit in isolation, but to their integration only. As an illustration, we analyse and allocate such synergies by a case study of the Dutch cycling-transit system. Where the practical absence of cycling has limited such potential in many locations elsewhere, the recent resurgence in cycling practice and culture, especially in urban agglomerations, enables new opportunities for improved cycling-transit integration. Urban agglomerations are also the locations where land-use and mobility related issues seem particularly pressing and where we claim cycling-transit synergies are strongest. The article concludes with a discussion of implication and application. above high-level analysis, we complete the case study by looking at detailed transit usage data from a small (and somewhat non-representative) sample. From a pilot study on automated and anonymous trip and mode detection in three Dutch cities 12 we selected all 1 453 transit trips. From this sample, we observed transit trips based on cycling access 13 travel (45% of all train trips) and pedestrian access (21%) or without a known access mode (15%, access or egress trips shorter than 500 m could not be recorded due to detection method but are most likely pedestrian trips), roughly comparable to This paper identified six components of cycling-transit integration and discussed these in descending order of functional importance: a) Cycling and transit infrastructure and culture, b) Bicycle rental schemes, c) Bicycle parking facilities at transit stations, d) Integrated planning and operation, e) Integrated information and arrangements, f) Bike-on-board facilities and regulation. Next we how these components affect the land-use-transport system by seven mechanisms: a) Increased catchment areas, b) Increased choice (including station choice), c) Increased personalisation and customisation of transit journeys, d) Increased market base for rapid transit systems with widely spaced stops, e) Increased competitiveness of transit, cycling and cities, f) liveliness of public and g) Increased agglomeration effects.
