PositiveImpact The implementation of the Integrated Public Transport Enhancement program is expected to create a robust and efficient public transportation network that will significantly increase the use of public transit over private vehicles, leading to substantial reductions in traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Over the long term, this initiative will foster a culture of sustainable transportation, potentially leading to improved public health outcomes as a consequence of reduced air pollution. Improved public transport access will also promote equity, benefiting lower-income individuals and eliminating barriers to mobility, thereby enhancing economic opportunities for future generations.

NegativeImpact On the downside, the Integrated Public Transport Enhancement program may encounter challenges such as initial public resistance to behavioral changes, as many commuters are accustomed to using private vehicles. Additionally, there is a risk that the anticipated investment in public transportation may not fully materialize or could face delays, resulting in prolonged congestion and continued reliance on fossil fuels in the interim. This approach might also lead to unintended consequences, such as increased traffic in areas surrounding public transport hubs as more commuters choose to drive to access these stations.
