- Description
- While STMS may offer immediate, cost-effective benefits in optimizing current traffic flow, it does not address the root causes of congestion nor promotes a long-term, sustainable transport model. In comparison with more holistic approaches like integrated public transport enhancements or dynamic toll pricing, STMS ranks lower as it could perpetuate car dependency rather than shift behaviors towards more sustainable transport modes. The operational lifespan of STMS may inadvertently create a debt for future generations, who may have to deal with outdated systems as traffic volumes grow steadily. Potential areas of improvement include enhancing integration between STMS and other transport initiatives, promoting accelerated public transit improvements in parallel, and refining public communication strategies regarding the use of the systems.
