In De Gulden Snelweg, Geert Kloppenburg introduces his ideas about a new public transport subsystem on the motorway. This new type of public transport includes all forms of shared and full goods and passenger transport on railway lines, roads and water that can contribute to public goals, including shared bicycles, buses, trains, shared cars, vans and lorries owned by private individuals as well as public and private organisations. A national Highways Centre manages the public transport system, which uses a national network of hubs, reserved lanes on existing motorways, digital support and a large fleet of various shared vehicles. This Highways Centre mobilises an enormous stock of dormant capital through much better use of all those empty and stationary roads and vehicles that we have collected around us in recent decades.
Also in the new transport system, one thing is always inextricably linked to the other. This internal coherence can make or break mobility policy. If you do it right, you will see magical cascade effects occur. If you do it wrong, by removing essential building blocks, you will keep wasting time and lots of money. This travel report of a pleasant tour through the Randstad conurbation of 2028 will show you how the magic of control can work miracles in an innovative public transport system in.
