Highlights:
The perfect train system and convenient bicycle system constitute the unique way of low-carbon transport. Railway station can connect to other public transportation systems, such as buses, trains, subways. The bicycle basically can reach any corner of the city and consequently low carbon concept can be practiced at a relatively low cost but the most widely way.Details
The train system in Holland is similar to the rail transit system in China's big cities, but its whole system is better. What’s more, there are different levels of train, including:
1) European high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris, passing through Rotterdam;
2) Dutch national high-speed train, connecting Amsterdam, Schiphol airport, Rotterdam and breda;
3) intercity trains, which are slower than high-speed trains, are mainly connected to city-level railway stations;
4) slow trains stop at small stations along the way.
5) small regional trains. Train systems of different speeds and levels offer a wide range of options, allowing people to travel by trains at any time during the day as long as the departure and destination stations are the same with the station written on the tickets. Besides ordinary train tickets, there are also day, weekend and family tickets.
In Holland, if the sign of bicycle is drew on the door, bicycle passengers can get on the bus and take their bike to the trains and subway that provide ample parking space. Generally the bicycle needs a ticket but folding bike can be free to be carried. Therefore, many people can directly take their bike to commute or travel. People are often seen pushing bicycles of all sizes when taking trains in Holland and the convenient streamline system allows bicycles to reach all corners.
