Tiivistelmä
Public transport is becoming an integral part of sustainable city planning and development. Promoting accessible public transport for the residents of a city can encourage faster adoption. As one of the largest and growing cities in Finland, Tampere’s public transport is undergoing a phase of new demand and expansion. The accessibility of the public transport network across different regions of Tampere was thus studied with the contemporary definition of accessibility within public transportation discourse. The research used publicly available General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data along with GIS software to analyse the data. The analysis’s outcome suggests a substantial disparity in accessibility among different areas of Tampere. To continue the sustainable growth of Tampere, the authority needs to address these short-comings of the public transport network.
