AB The success of the correct execution of designed measures depends on our succeeding in reducing the negative influences of transport on health and the environment; however, to eliminate these negative effects it is almost always necessary to take more measures. In this case we speak of a set of measures which are inter-connected, and their efficiency is thereby enhanced. As an example, it is possible to mention the increase of the positive influence of a new service of urban public transport on the reduction of car transport, together with the building of an park and ride facilities in a suitable area on the public transport service route. From the design stage of the measures to their implementation it often takes a long time, therefore the complex of the measures should always be designed by a team of experts who are capable of judging the efficiency of various alternatives and subsequently design an optimum solution.
