Cross-platform interchange

A combined platform is a platform can be switched to the points between modes that have different requirements for infrastructure and / or platform height. It is a relatively young, but now very popular idea for better linkage between transport carriers.

Typically, it refers to a central platform, which holds a railway at an edge on the other side but buses (possibly under a common platform roof ). Ideally, by the transition can be made from a low- floor tram in a low-floor, without even a single step or threshold to be overcome.

By providing on the " bus side " street flush laid streetcar tracks, the platform can also link light rail and railways.

The often become just lately in railway operation platforms, where on both sides of the railway tracks, but with different platform heights, are, are not usually referred to as combination platforms. They have thus become necessary that three different standard platform heights (55 cm, 76 cm and 96 cm) are common in new buildings train station, for example in Germany.
