2 Vicious circle - More private cars - More congestion - Slower PT system - Lower PT quality - Less PT customers - Lower PT revenue - A higher level of subsidy - Urban sprawel - More people dependent on car use - More roads - Decrease in PT supply - Inner cities are less attractive - Transfer of activities to the outskirts Source: UITP and TICA S.

3 LetꞋs break out of the vicious circle - More private cars - More congestion - Slower PT system - Lower PT quality - Less PT customers - Lower PT revenue - A higher level of subsidy - Urban sprawel - More people dependent on car use - More roads HIGER QUALITY OF URBAN LIFE SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORT - Less car traffic - Less congestion - Creating a balanced urban transportation system - Possibly more funds for PT - Decrease in PT supply - Inner cities are less attractive - Transfer of activities to the outskirts - Urban sprawl under control - More attractive cities and city centres - Less subsidies needed - PT more market oriented - More PT independence - More efficient use of road infrastructure - Higher individual transport costs for car users Source: UITP and TICA S. - Commercial speed of PT system increases - More cost-efficient PT operation - Beter quality for passengers - More Customer Satisfaction Index - More PT customers - More PT revenue
