Abstract: The discussion and conclusions of Thredbo's Workshop 3 are summarized. History and the socio-economic environment is a condition that should be considered as a most important fact when moving into planning public transportation. Contradictory targets should be identified and avoided a priori. Income distribution and spatial segregation should be taken into account, together with the necessary transparency and responsibility of parties involved.
