- PositiveImpact
- The Integrated Public Transport Enhancement program could lead to a more interconnected and efficient public transport system, potentially encouraging a shift from private vehicle reliance to public transportation. This could foster a culture of sustainable transport in future generations, achieve climate goals, and create a framework for lifelong public transport investment.
- NegativeImpact
- The initiative might not yield results as quickly as needed due to resistance to change, potential underfunding, or initial inefficiencies in transition periods. As this requires essential behavioral change, if it fails to attract significant ridership, the public transport system could become a financial burden without adequate ridership to support it.
- Description
- This alternative may fail primarily because: 1) High initial costs and the need for significant investment in public transport infrastructure that may not be met by the budget; 2) Insufficient public adoption of the improved services which may perpetuate reliance on private car usage; 3) It could impact the existing infrastructure negatively if public transport does not efficiently integrate with current systems. In light of these risks and challenges, the likelihood of achieving the desired outcomes within ten years seems less feasible compared to more direct interventions like Smart Traffic Management Systems.
