Train offers the greatest potential for substitution (88%).
When comparing the existing PT interfaces (Figure \ref{fig:map1}) with the bike routes with highest potential to serve as first and last legs (Figure \ref{fig:map2}) it becomes clear that the Train interfaces are the ones that have the highest potential to attract car-to-PT substituting trips, if their accessibility by bicycle is improved to be safe.

Shifting from car to cycling + PT can reduce annual CO~2~eq emissions by 14,000 to 36,000 tons per year,

The social impacts represent 98% of the socio-environmental benefits (in value) from replacing car trips to bicycle in first-and-last legs. For the PT segment, we did not estimate the social impacts from substituting car trips, although its health benefits would not be as high as shifting to cycling.<!-- We should estimate the social impacts from replacing Car to PT in the second leg, for the other paper --> <!--Overall there was very little evidence available on mode switch to public transport. -->

# Conclusion

The information on socio-economic benefits can support policy-makers in prioritizing interventions to reduce the reliance on individual motorized transportation, and to better communicate their decisions by providing the expected avoided GHG and air pollutant emissions and the monetized socio-economic benefits for short and long terms.

By making the research process publicly accessible in a code repository, this research enables the replication of similar estimates for socio-environmental impacts, resulting from a modal shift from car to bicycle in combination with PT, in other metropolitan areas.
