The landscape is changing rapidly as the public transport sector looks to leave the impact of COVID-19 behind and boldly embrace the future. Traditionally provided by heavily subsidised public-sector bodies operating discrete/siloed transport modes, the traditional model of public transport service delivery is being challenged as never before. New market entrants are changing the last-mile equation through enhanced services and convenient new offerings. Priorities are shifting as decision-makers listen to the voice of their constituents and look beyond the operation of transport infrastructure, fleets and workforce to fully consider the advantages of a connected, 21st-century ecosystem.
KPMG International, in a commissioned survey conducted by Forrester Consulting, engaged 483 leaders from public transportation organisations across the globe to understand their perspectives on the sector’s future. The report explores the potential that a connected public transport system has in forging powerful enterprise-wide business and delivery models that can drive excellent customer experience while enhancing efficiency and contributing to the prosperous future we all want to see.
