Transit Horizons: Toward a New Model of Public Transportation
What’s on the horizon for public transportation? Download this industry perspectives paper today to find out.
Structural changes around unemployment, rider preferences, and working from home are likely to linger and still impact public transit well into 2021 and beyond. How can we take what we learned during COVID and build resilient alternative models for public transit?
For this paper, the Transit team at Uber gathered feedback from public transit leaders and tapped into economic models, rider travel trends, and technology developments to offer insights that we hope will spark a few ideas as we look to the horizon.
Some top forecasts
Travel patterns and density can help agencies determine where on demand service could work best for riders and agencies.
Pockets for significant cost savings exist today by incorporating on-demand service delivery models into current fixed-route or demand-response models.
Ridesharing and on-demand service can help increase equity and allow for rider and geographic expansion.
Rather than planning once every few years, network and service planning and redesign will occur monthly, weekly, or even daily to reflect actual rider travel patterns.
Rider travel patterns will dictate the future of transportation.
Transit managers will become mobility managers.

- Ideas on how to create resiliency through new business models, service models, cost structure, and technologies
