One hundred seventy five participants were provided with a bicycle and unlimited bus tickets in order to stimulate these modes of transport. The project ran for one year. Ninety one per cent of the participants completed the project successfully. The modal split from car to bicycle changed successfully, especially during summer. During winter, bus use increased in favour of the car. The effects were lasting.
