Experiential Transit

Transit experiences are redefined through unique features & partnerships

Implications - Public transit systems are turning to unexpected partnerships to reinvent traditional transit experiences into something more engaging and memorable. A creative way to divert commuter’s attention away from concerns over delays and commuter time, transit companies are integrating fun, interactive enhancements that help bypass time through elements of surprise and delight. Whether it be tapping the comedic talent of Hollywood actors or partnering with popular ridesharing services to simplify trips, these examples showcase a willingness from traditional organizations to adapt and modify their services to become more consumer-friendly.
Workshop Question - Think of an area of your business that isn't as consumer-focused. How could you change that? What adjacent industries could you pull from to make that more experiential?
