Mode Interconnection
Interconnection between transport modes is a key factor of good transport networks. Being able to change easily between rail, bus, car and tram ensure ease of access for all users, and decreases the barriers faced by new parents, young people, older people and others of limited mobility.

1. The ACT Bike N' Ride Project
Through the simple step of installing bike racks on the front of municipal buses, the ACT Government completely connected two modes of transport.
With buses able to carry up to two bikes at a time in a simple spring loaded mechanism, cyclists no longer have to worry about leaving their bikes vulnerable to theft or not having a transport option at the end of their bus journey
This highly effective connection increases the use of both bicycles and buses by the local community and vastly improves accessibility.
You can also access up-to-date detail on the scheme at the ACT Action website.
