[sumo-user] Multimodal Public Transport

Hi All,

I'm working on a city-scale simulation that includes multimodal transport within a public transport system. From what I understand from the SUMO documentation (https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Simulation/Public_Transport.html), SUMO seems to support only bus, tram, and train as public transport modes.

1. My first question:
Is it possible to define bicycles as a form of public transport in SUMO?

The reason I’m asking is that I’d like to use the <personFlow> and <personTrip> elements with modes="public", like this:

<personFlow id="AB" begin="0" end="3600" probability="0.1">
    <personTrip from="-E1" to="-E0" arrivalPos="-20" modes="public"/>
</personFlow>
(source: https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Tutorials/PublicTransport.html)

If I can define bicycles as public transport, I’m hoping that persons will be able to automatically choose them as part of the public transport option.

2. My second question:
If the answer to question 1 is no, then is there a way to automatically plan a trip where a person travels from point A to B using, for example, a bus and then a bike ?
Or do I need to create such multimodal trips manually for each person?
Is there a more automated, easier, or smarter way to build these kinds of mixed-mode journeys?

Any help or ideas would be really appreciated!
Have a great weekend!
