| Abstract: |
Travel by railways is now more popular than it was several years ago. Along with the “station renaissance”, many new stations have been built and many historical stations have been refurbished and developed. Stations have become more user-friendly, satisfying many needs and various additional functions. This paper examines factors, which have an influence that railway stations in Europe and Japan have become more designated for people than, like before, for trains. The conclusion is that both in Europe and Japan many factors of station design are essential for people and make travel by rail more convenient. |
