Public Transport Technology Database
Public Transport Technology Database
In 2006, Trueform assembled a database of over 2000 published articles and reports covering 150 key topics which collectively provide ‘best practice procedures and schemes’ on public transport strategies and investment policies.
In their analysis of future trends and developments, Trueform has a sound understanding of the technologies associated with public transport applications. With this knowledge they can explain how public transport of the future will evolve to more effectively compete with private motoring - giving the passenger the choice to travel anywhere at anytime whilst ensuring that the transport operators can provide efficient and reliable services that can respond, in real time, to the demands of the traveller.
Their conclusion from this work is that the public transport infrastructure is even more important than the transport services themselves in shaping the long term delivery of effective public transport.
Modern transport strategy confirms that for public transport policy to be truly effective, transport authorities need to work with its partners to improve interchange between public transport modes, walking and cycling; making it easier for people to access the public transport system via walking, cycling, taxis and private hire vehicles; making interchanges accessible; and enabling people to access the public transport system by car where this is essential or meets broader strategic objectives.’
‘The longer term intention is to provide an attractive alternative to the private car, by ensuring that journeys involving public transport begin to approach the same level of door-to-door convenience offered by the car.’
