Lots of people have asked me to share my thoughts on Better Connected, the Government’s new Integrated National Transport Strategy.

So here they are…

The summary: great that it exists at all, good as a first step but there’s much more needed to create a strategy that will actually integrate transport.

Swiss transport integration is incredible but is it affordable? In this blog post, I argue that it’s more affordable than most people think - because of the powers of network effects

We plan transport by starting with a project, then writing a timetable and finally (if at all) considering the place being served.

To get better outcomes, we need to reverse it.

20th century transport planning left us with a worse public transport network than we started with.

That’s true in many countries, but it’s now time to change how we plan.

Integrated transport is for customers, but do you need an integrated transport authority to deliver integrated transport?

Today’s blog post is about what integrated transport means at an organisational level.

We all know that “integrated” transport is important, but what exactly is it?

How do we define good integration and how do we know when we’ve got it?

I spent half term in Switzerland. Not in a glamorous ski resort, but in ordinary towns and villages. What I found was integrated transport as it could and should be for everyone.

Here’s my report.
