Back
- Density of transport network
- Quality of transport infrastructure
- Variety of transport modes

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Density of transport network
Back
● Transport networks allow for movement between locations in cities
● Consists of nodes and routes ➔ Nodes: Locations that allow access to the transport network
➔ Routes: Links between two nodes/ path for travel between nodes
● Network density refers to the number of nodes and routes in an area.
➔ The higher the number of nodes and routes, the higher the network density
● Denser network allows for:
➔ Easier and faster for people to reach locations
➔ Easier for people to participate in different activities
● Cities usually have denser networks than rural areas
➔ This is because more activities take place in the city area
➔ This allows for the movement of people to get to different places in the city to be as efficient as possible

Quality of transport infrastructure
Back
● High quality infrastructure allows for efficient movement of people and goods by supporting the function of transport systems
● Examples would be Roads, railways, walkways, bridges, signages, information systems etc
● Indicators of high quality transport infrastructure: FEC³ ➔ high Frequency: Services arrive on a high frequency basis / short waiting time
➔ Environmentally sustainable: Low environmental impact of infrastructure
➔ Large capacity: Allows high number of people or goods to be moved
➔ highly Convenient: Easy movement during travel
➔ wide Coverage: Wide availability and reach of infrastructure

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Major transport node distribution
Back
1. In places with high concentration of activities
● Places with a wide variety of activities such as finance, banking, manufacturing, retail and leisure
● With more transport nodes at these locations, people have easier access to them
● This is essential as this can be for access to tourist destinations / workplaces
2. In places with high levels of accessibility
● Accessibility is defined as how easy it is to reach a location within a reasonable time and cost
● High cost + long travel time = low level of accessibility
● Low cost + low travel time = high level of accessibility
● Major transport nodes are found in areas with high level of accessibility

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Reasons for major transport node distribution
Back
1. Allows for the movement of people
● Transport systems allow people to commute to work. This is because residential areas and workplaces are usually located far away from each other.
● Workplaces tend to be concentrated in the Central Business District while most residential areas are found further away from the CBD as housing near the CBD is expensive.
● There is a need for transport systems for people to commute regularly to their workplaces.
● It can also provide access to social activities and amenities to improve their social and emotional well-being
2. Allows for the movement of goods and services
● Transport systems support economic activities by transporting goods and services from places of production to place of consumption.
● With the rise of e-commerce, (where goods and services are bought or sold over the internet), there is an increased demand for door-to-door delivery of goods.
