- PositiveImpact
- The Integrated Public Transport Enhancement program may increase access to educational institutions by providing reliable and frequent public transport options for students, particularly in urban areas where car dependency is high. This can improve school attendance rates and enhance opportunities for lifelong learning.
- NegativeImpact
- If the public transport system does not meet the expected improvements, it could perpetuate reliance on private vehicle usage, thereby reducing accessibility to education and contributing to ongoing congestion issues. Additionally, those without access to public transport could face further socio-economic disparities in education access.
- Description
- The assessed alternative, while aiming to improve public transport connectivity, might fall short compared to other alternatives like Smart Traffic Management Systems or Congestion Pricing, which could more effectively manage existing infrastructure and behavioral patterns without extensive reliance on new systems. It risks overspending on public projects without guaranteed outcomes in improved educational access and efficiency for future generations.
