In a region three settlements are located as follows: - Town A: population 45 000, services - regional hospital, university, airport. - Town B: population 12 000, services - secondary school, district hospital. - Village C: population 3 500, services - primary school only. Distances: A-B = 30 km, B-C = 20 km, A-C = 45 km. A new railway reduces travel time between B and C by 50 % and between A and B by 20 %.
