Transit tech has brought massive improvements to urban transport. Wireless scanning, real-time information systems, smartphone apps and microchips have provided wonderful solutions that improve commuters’ overall experience. They eliminate the guesswork on what exact time your bus will arrive and offers you a wide range of payment options for your convenience, among other benefits.

 

These positive changes in everyday travel is set to further improve with UK being on the cusp of a “revolution” in urban transport once more. Right now, there is a big push to develop a new generation of connected and automated vehicles. These driverless cars are connected to the internet and urban infrastructure and are expected to help decongest UK roads as well as improve mobility for the elderly who can no longer drive and live in rural areas.

 

More technologies can be used for the benefit of the wider public. To take advantage of them, local authorities have to create their own visions of what towns and cities should look like in the future and make sure that transport systems are efficient and environmentally sustainable for all commuters.
