Public Transportation Future Plans

Public Transportation Future Plans
Some folks think that whole approach may be wrong-headed. Transport for London’s Head of Technology and Data for Surface Transport, Simon Reed, told me that he believes many people today have “app fatigue” and would prefer that transit options appear on existing apps that they use to procure products and services.

Under this approach, if a patron went online to a movie theater’s app to purchase movie tickets, after they selected their theater and show time, transit/mobility times and locations would show up on that app to give options to get to and from the showing they chose.

Several of our industry leaders address MaaS as a whole and describe where they believe it is going and how it should develop in my book. One question that many are asking now is will these developments lead to the end of smart fareboxes as we know them and will we see a shift to validators on board and cash only boxes, or even a move away from cash altogether, as they have done in London. This seems to be the trend although some in the U.S. see our Title VI requirements leaving cash fares as an option.

Others like Robbie Makinen, CEO of Kansas City Area Transit Authority, see a fare-free future for their main transit systems, where other subsidies make up the difference in operating budgets and passengers can ride for free.
