Advanced Commute

Boosting public transit to new levels to draw in commuters

Implications - Waiting in a dark subway tunnel or spending more time on a drab bus than one does at home would make any commuter irritable. Some cities are attempting to alleviate the pain by introducing more tech-savvy and advanced public transit systems and stations. A subway slide, art museum and a high-tech bus are just some of the improvements to hit the commuter world. Not only do they enhance the typically dismal appearance associated with public transit, these upgrades make commuting more appealing, thus encouraging more eco-friendly transportation.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Transportation - The increasing importance of eco-friendly alternatives to car transportation has led to towards the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles and transit systems.
2. Aesthetic and Cultural Enhancements - Adding aesthetically pleasing and culturally enriching design elements to public transit systems to increase the number of individuals who use them.
3. High-tech Public Transit - The use of cutting-edge technology to improve the efficiency and operations of public transit systems.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation Industry - The transportation industry can explore new innovative ways of addressing the issues that public transit systems face to appeal to more commuters.
2. Architecture and Infrastructure Industry - The architecture and infrastructure industries can take cues from innovative transit systems, designing aesthetically pleasing and technically advanced buildings for commuters.
3. Sustainability Industry - The sustainability industry can explore and develop new materials and technologies that can be used in building eco-friendly vehicles and transit systems to replace the current fleet of fossil-fuel vehicles and high-emission public transit options.
