Traveller Needs and UK Capability Study

The rail industry should focus on traveller experience on multi-modal journeys and speed and reliability of interchange, on rail’s accessibility and on enabling “productive time”, and “digital lifestyles” according to this report into ‘intelligent mobility’. The report also found that 75% of all journeys (i.e. not just those on rail) were subject to negative experiences and that 31% of trips would not have been made if there had been a ‘virtual mobility’ alternative that avoided the need for physical travel. It also concluded that 39% of people would consider using driverless cars. Transport Systems Catapult believes ‘intelligent mobility’ will become a £900bn a year market worldwide - and that the UK has a chance to become a market leader.
