Goodbye 2022, hello 2023!
2022 can be described as a year of recovery as economies opened and travel restrictions loosened. The past year saw the transportation industry get shaken with disruptions and the emergence of new travel patterns.
As we welcome a new year, what should we, in the transportation industry, expect and what should we prepare for? We at GOIN’ have compiled the top three trends forecasted to take a crucial role for everyone in the transportation industry this 2023.
Trend #1: Broader Adoption of Cloud-based Systems
Among the biggest transport industry trends that will pervade in 2023 is the broader adoption of cloud-based systems. More companies will embrace the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model because it offers greater scalability and higher profitability. Software that is able to integrate multiple modes of transit into a single user experience will be more appealing to customers.
Trend #2: Demand for Greater Flexibility
Additionally, people will demand for greater flexibility in transportation. Public transportation is beneficial on highly frequented routes but in peripheral areas during off-peak times, it may not be the best option. As such, it is forecasted that giving riders more options like shared-use mobility, rideshare or micro mobility will be essential.
Demand #3: Increased Accessibility
The pandemic has highlighted inequalities inherent in our transportation system and opened opportunities to address transportation challenges for vulnerable populations. As such, transportation experts predict that innovations designed to increase accessibility will proliferate. These innovations will address the needs of specific groups of people, providing greater accessibility for those with mobility challenges or those who can’t afford the costs.
Conclusion
The world of transit and transportation will continue to evolve in 2023. Among others, reliance on cloud-based systems and the need for increased flexibility and greater flexibility will trend.
