Midtjylland politician calls for integrated public transport
Nicolai Estrup, a member of the Randers Municipal Council and the Midtjylland Regional Council, is advocating for a more integrated approach to public transport in Central Jutland. He argues that collective transport should serve as a genuine alternative to cars by connecting rural areas with urban centers like Aarhus.
Estrup emphasizes the need for synergy between different modes of transport and geographical boundaries. He warns against internal competition, specifically noting that introducing cheaper bus routes that compete with existing rail services, such as Midtjyske Jernbaner, could undermine the economic foundation of the railway system. Instead, he suggests that buses should complement trains by transporting passengers from outlying areas to stations.
