Pan-European Passion & Experience
The BiTiBi.eu project was carried out by an exciting and passionate team consisting of ten partners in five European countries. The partners were divided up into consultancies and operators. The goal was to replicate the Dutch example and implement it in other countries, with the vital cooperation of railway companies.
Combining the bicycle with railways for first and last mile transport is nothing new. It's as old as the bicycle itself. European cities are now returning to this important modal combination in order to battle congestion and emissions. The BiTiBi.eu project focused on continuing the combination.
