Week 10

• The Local (live near/work near)

Assuming that the general working hour starts at 9AM, the local whose workplace is within close proximity will catch the tram at around 8:30AM. They will travel by foot or bicycle; cars are highly unlikely. Buses are also a transport option, although would not be a preferred method. And assuming that a normal work day finishes at 5PM, the locals will catch tram or the bus towards the transport interchange site and will arrive at approximately 6PM. Since they live nearby, they might not need to go to the supermarket on the opposite side of the road.

• The Worker (live far/work near)

Most likely transportation options are cars and buses. There is a need for some parking spots, but not too many that it would disrupt the traffic around the area. Just like the locals, they will gather around 8-8:30AM on site to change bus or catch the tram. It is a possibility for these people to also catch only bus without going back to the interchange when travelling back home from work, for example, right to the train station instead of going back to the transport interchange. Living far away, some might need to get food or coffee from the supermarket.

• The Resident (live near/work far)

They work far, so they would need to change buses or modes of transport. Again, living nearby, their main modes of transport towards the interchange would be by foot or bicycle. However, since they work far away, they will gather much earlier than the local or the worker. Probably around 7AM. Their time of return would also be later-- maybe around 7PM.

• The Tourist (live far/work far)

They are probably the people who want to try the newly constructed public transport and it is safe to say that a higher percentage of these people will avoid the rush hour. They will also be less likely to use the supermarket or bar.

It is important to provide direct access from the transport interchange to the supermarket through the use of pedestrian crossing or the traffic lights crossing. It is already provided originally, so I would not demolish or remove the position. All of these variety of people are also likely to go to the bar after work with their colleagues. Hence, there shouldn't be any obstruction that blocks the sight of the bar from the transport interchange or create complication for travel.

• Foot
• Taxi
• Bus
• Bicycle

Modes of transport (after):

• Cars
• Taxi
• Bus
• Light rail
• Foot
• Bicycle

Design proposal:

to be edited

Amenities:

• Toilet
• Vending machine
• Cafe
• Bicycle parking spot
• News agency
• Ticket machine

Since the interchange will operate most of the days, whether peak hour or not, toilets are necessary for the commuters. People from far away would travel here to change their mean of transport and some of them might have already been through a long commuting period. Hence, restrooms would be necessary. Not to mention the cafe and vending machine provided that might cause commuters to drink a lot more.

Since the light rail and buses require Opal card, a news agency is necessary for commuters to top up the credit in their cards. During peak hour, it might be crowded, so a top up machine would be another important amenity to have on site. Some people might also require paper ticket over their Opal, so ticket machine has to be on place.

Some people might use bicycle to travel if they live nearby. Some parking spots will be located on some parts of the interchange.
