PositiveImpact The implementation of an Integrated Public Transport Enhancement program can lead to a substantial reduction in vehicle congestion on the A1 motorway, positively influencing air quality in urban areas, enhancing public health by reducing emissions, and fostering sustainable commuting practices. Furthermore, increased usage of public transport could catalyze further investments into the sector, promoting economic growth and job creation within the public transport industry. This shift may also integrate bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, paving the way for more environmentally friendly transport options.

NegativeImpact While improving public transport has great potential, it may not address the immediate needs for the entrenched motorway congestion, leading to continued frustration for commuters reliant on road transport. Additionally, if this program fails to attract users from private vehicles, there could be financial losses in public transport investments, and even more significantly, the expulsion of the lower income class who may not afford new transit costs could lead to social inequality. The loss of focus on immediate infrastructure expansions could also delay urgent needs for road upgrades, worsening congestion in the short term as the population continues to grow.
