PositiveImpact If successful, this initiative would lead to a significant reduction in traffic congestion along the A1 motorway corridor. It would create a more reliable and efficient public transport system, encouraging more residents to shift from private vehicles to public transport. These improvements would contribute to enhanced air quality and lower greenhouse gas emissions, thereby supporting public health and climate goals. The development of a robust public transport system can lead to sustainable urban growth, making cities more livable and reducing dependence on automobiles in the long term.

NegativeImpact The implementation of the Integrated Public Transport Enhancement program may face significant resistance from the public, particularly from the worker class accustomed to private car use. If investments are not well-managed, this could lead to cost overruns and delayed project timelines, compounding traffic issues in the interim. If public transport services do not meet the demands or expectations of commuters, there may be a lack of uptake, leading to wasted resources and continued congestion. Additionally, reliance on electric buses may not fully mitigate the environmental impacts if the sources of electricity remain carbon-intensive.
