Integrating cycle highways and metro

In London we see that the implementation of cycle highways relieves pressure from metrolines at some routes. Here, we see a similar dynamic between public transport and cycle highways as the train concept in Copenhagen. In winter it is complementing and in summer it is competitive.

Since the Underground network in London provides high connectivity through the city, the bike will mostly be competing. For people entering from the outskirts cycle hire docking stations are provided along the cycle highway and often closeby an Underground station. This results in a complementary and integrated system.
