Systemvalsstudie i Jönköping

Sammanfattning: Jönköping city has big ambitions for its future, and they hope that the city can grow with the new highspeed railway. To manage all the new citizens and make up for the communal and transport political goals they need to expand their community rides. Today’s bus line 1, which is the most trafficked line in Jönköping, need a reroute to include the new station for the highspeed trains which will be located south of Munksjön. The new line will be bad for some citizens but overall it will be better for the city. There are two relevant solutions on the traffic which is a BRT-system and a railroad, but the question is which on is the best? BRT is an upgrade from the buses that traffic the line today which leads to a smaller investment and shorter building time. The railroad is a more complicated build, it takes some years to complete and it will cost a lot. The investment in a railroad is very high but well in place it is better and more attractive than the BRT-system. A big difference between the two systems is that the railroad has more capacity and longer lifespan than the BRT-system. The railroad effects the city in a good way and people tends to pay more to live close to a rail station which improve the price of the land. Railroad is a better alternative in the end but if the city needs a fast solution the BRT could be better.
