Abstract: Nowadays sustainability is among the most desired characteristics of the transport systems. Taking into account the soaring and the unpredictable rise of the transport needs in urban areas, in contrast with the suggestions for reducing individual travels, new solutions which should integrate the transport resources both of urban and suburban areas must be sought. The idea of organizing freight distribution chains through hub-and-spokes network can also be adapted for passengers transport. The infrastructure for individual transport, whenever motorised or non-motorised modes, in the proximity of large cities should also be developed to serve other high capacity transport networks, accomplishing all the traveller’s needs within the sustainability framework. The technical, administrative or financial integration of peri-urban transport modes with urban public transport is a key element. The current paper highlights the particularities of such an approach and presents a case study for reorganizing the urban and peri-urban connections in Bucharest city.
