Description
The proposed alternative, while aiming to reduce congestion and improve public transport, presents several weaknesses. First, there is a risk of underestimating the funding needed for sustained improvements in public transport systems, leading to incomplete projects. Second, public reliance on enhanced public transport may not materialize if services are not reliable or user-friendly. Third, without a robust awareness campaign and community engagement, residents may remain hesitant to shift from personal vehicles to public transport, limiting the program's effectiveness. In comparison to the dynamic pricing and smart traffic management systems, which offer more immediate and measurable outcomes regarding congestion, the public transport enhancement may fall short. While it aligns with long-term sustainability goals, the current plan's execution risks stagnating progress and potentially neglecting the necessary short-term congestion relief that education policy makers need to address today. The net result after 15 years could be a failure to create lasting assets, but instead lead to increased social debt in terms of access to education and livelihood. The investment of CHF 11.6 billion must prioritize a balance; neglecting urgent infrastructure improvements today could compromise long-term educational advancements for future generations.
