Crossroads: choosing a future for London’s transport in the digital age

Are new digital technology-facilitated transport services such as journey planners and car clubs a positive or negative? This paper argues that “the pace and reach of technological change is such that a window of opportunity currently exists in which action can be taken by London’s government to ensure the positive potential of these services is realised. The chance of negative path dependency is intolerably high without action in this term.” It says new transport technologies should be built into the London Mayor’s Transport Strategy.
