Description
Summary:Populations are growing, geographically expanding, urbanising and becoming more reliant on faster travel solutions. There is a significant need for innovative ideas within the public transport sector to cater for this trend. Park & Ride systems are a transparent, systematic way of operating, and synchronise the connection between the bus operators and the local authority to alter the way people see and use public transport to and from inner city districts and areas. Technological and innovative advancement is widespread, from farming to manufacturing and medical sciences, transforming the way we live, and transport is a fundamental part of this. Congestion is increasing due to the imbalance between supply and demand for private vehicle usage, but there are other factors at play that are contributing to a society that is unproductive and economically inefficient. New, enhanced and modernised ideas are required, particularly in industries such as passenger transport, which is continually changing to satisfy the needs and requirements of customers.
