Headline recommendations:
- Fairer fares: a clear fare arrangement which fits the needs of the region, and smart payment and pricing which would permit measures such as fare capping or pre-arranged ‘travel-to-work’ tariffs.
- A ‘Smart Travel Pass’: an app or card for every citizen.
- Strathclyde Buses: the creation of a new single Transport for Strathclyde service brand.
- Smart passenger-responsive journeys: with a personalised ‘journey plan’ on an app so that passengers will know when a bus is coming and the driver will know if they need some help.
- Real time network management: with better understanding of live travel needs a ‘smart network’ could adjust traffic lights and traffic management.
- A ‘personal carbon emissions statement' to passengers take action to reduce how their transport choices impact the environment.
