In the early 2000s, Seoul’s private-sector-operated bus #service encountered issues such as overloaded buses, reckless driving, and late arrival, which contributed to a decline in bus use. In 2004, the #city #government began managing bus routes and operations, and pooling revenues for redistribution among bus companies. The system improved service satisfaction by 32%, on-time arrival by 4.6%, and bus ridership by 9.4%. 🟠 READ https://buff.ly/3TZjbv1 #SDG10 #SDG11

Good ideas from China #2 For those who are not travelling frequently to China, here are some ideas that might give you another perspective and this time let’s talk about … SUBWAY RUSH HOUR Another fact about transportation systems. Tier 1 cities in China all benefit from top notch subway networks. Safe, clean, often automatized, they are pretty easy to use. Rush hours can be tricky though and even though I never witnessed subways professional pushers like in Tokyo, it’s best if you can anticipate where the less crowded areas will be. That’s the topic of this picture in Shanghai subway which allows - in a lot of stations - to see in real time how crowded are the train cars so you can pick the best one to stretch your legs. Probably powered by CCTV combined with AI, it can be useful when you have to take public transportation in a city that is home for 35 millions people, more than the entire country of Australia ! I’m sure you are working on similar stuff François M. & Vincent LucIAni And don’t forget, China is not perfect, but it doesn’t mean we should not look at all the goods things going on there !

#Project insights: Salzburg Linien, Salzburg’s largest public transport operator, partnered with Commend Österreich GmbH to modernise their train stations Bürmoos and Oberndorf, transforming them into inclusive, multimodal hubs. The upgrades focused on accessibility, ensuring that all passengers can navigate the stations easily, supported by clear information and modern assistance systems. Safety enhancements include intercom stations, a public address system, and video surveillance for effective communication. A hardware server, including VirtuoSIS and the control centre are at the headquarter in the city of Salzburg and ensure 24/7 support. Smart Alliance information kiosks with Commend technology were installed for infotainment to deliver real-time information while providing advertising opportunities, enhancing both convenience and commercial appeal. The stations are now modern, efficient, and inclusive transit hubs for the Salzburg region.

Here is a bus stop in Busan, South Korea, a digital signboard displays real-time bus schedules. It was simple but highly effective—providing accurate arrival times and updates. It show that South Korea is way more advanced compared to Singapore in technology adoption for public transportation and commuter experiences. Singapore needs to do more for the transport system. South Korea’s seamless integration of technology into everyday services could inspire us to push boundaries. Could we leverage advanced AI to predict and respond to fluctuations in demand more dynamically? Or introduce more interactive systems at bus stops to guide commuters in real-time, especially in areas less connected to MRT networks? Another key area is accessibility. As we adopt smarter systems, how do we ensure they remain inclusive for everyone, from the elderly to tourists who may not be tech-savvy? These aren’t massive leaps—they’re incremental improvements that focus on usability, accessibility, and efficiency. With clear goals and a collaborative approach, I believe Singapore can match or even set new standards in public transport technology over the next five years. It starts with the will to innovate and a commitment to serve every commuter better.

I thought of sharing this valuable insight with you before it becomes mainstream. Delhi’s traffic congestion is a challenge that demands innovative solutions to enhance public transport efficiency. Here are 10 strategic measures that can make a transformative impact: 1. Multi-Modal Integration: Seamless transfers between buses, metros, and intermediate paratransit modes to promote inclusive and comfortable door-to-door connectivity. 2. Technology Deployment: Smart solutions like smart-ticketing, real-time passenger information, cashless mobile ticketing for buses to enhance user experience. 3. Innovative Financing: Exploring revenue sources such as land value capture to support and sustain public transport facilities. 4. Institutional Arrangement: Establishing a unified governance system like the Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority

NIO completes deployment of highway battery swapping network connecting all main cities in China On December 18, NIO officially completed its battery swapping network that covers China’s 9 north-south and 9 east-west main highways, connecting all major cities across the country, according to a post on the company’s WeChat account. This network spans 12 key city clusters, including the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta region, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and Chengdu-Chongqing region. Along these routes, users can complete a battery swap in just three minutes at service areas.

What is the cost of failing to adapt for your organisation? Whilst researching for a presentation on organisations that have struggled with adapting, I was struck by how the London Underground’s approach to operations since the 1960s highlights the real cost of resisting change. Despite having the world’s first underground train network, London has fallen behind other cities in adapting to new systems. Seoul Subway, for example, embraced automation and modern systems decades before TfL did. What have been the key decisions that are holding back change? - TfL didn’t implement any full automation on lines until 2012, decades after other metro systems like those in Paris, Tokyo, and Seoul had already embraced it. - Strong resistance from unions against the introduction of driverless trains created significant barriers, preventing TfL from modernising at the pace of global counterparts. - Despite the availability of more efficient, modern signalling systems, TfL continued to rely on manual systems, dating back to the 60s, until as recently as 2023. In contrast, Seoul Subway adopted advanced signalling technologies back in the 70s, allowing for a faster and more reliable service. - While TfL has stagnated, Seoul Subway began modernising its operations in the 70s and continues to improve its infrastructure and technology every year. By resisting change, TfL has seen its quality stall, whilst others have innovated and improved. The impact of this resistance goes beyond just service quality. In 2023, the cost per journey for the London Underground was over 3x higher than the Seoul Subway, highlighting how failing to modernise made TfL not only less efficient but significantly more expensive to operate. Failing to adapt and embrace innovation leads to stagnation and higher costs. Organisations that resist change fall behind, while those that innovate and embrace it stay competitive. Embracing change is key to a sustainable future, both socially and financially, for your organisation. Think about the long-term costs of resisting innovation for your organisation and the opportunities you might miss by staying still. #ChangeManagement #TechnologyAdoption #OrganisationalChange #DigitalTransformation #Adaptability
