PositiveImpact The implementation of the Integrated Public Transport Enhancement program could lead to a significant reduction in car dependency, with estimates suggesting a 30% reduction in car usage in urban areas. This shift would not only improve air quality but also contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the promotion of electric buses has the potential to cut emissions from public transport by approximately 23%, aligning with Switzerland's climate goals and fostering a shift toward sustainable transport for future generations.

NegativeImpact Despite its potential benefits, this alternative may struggle with public acceptance, particularly from those heavily reliant on private vehicles. The improvements in public transport must not be perceived as inadequate or inconvenient, leading commuters to maintain their reliance on cars, resulting in persistent congestion and emissions. Additionally, there might be infrastructural challenges in upgrading existing systems, potentially delaying impacts and muddying the perceived effectiveness of the initiative.
