There is an ever increasing concern for our ecology and with our very existence depending upon the concept of a sustainable planet; it is no surprise that environmental awareness is one of the most sought after topics.

'''Public Transport in Netherlands'''


With a sustained increase in the number of private vehicles on the Dutch roads, public transport can be one of the most effective ways to ease the traffic flow and also reduce the pollution caused by these private vehicles.
'''Enablers'''
Technology improvements
Investments by governments in improving public transport infrastructure
Price of oil higher price may force people to adopt cheaper means of travel
Increase in awareness regarding environmental issues
Higher taxes for private vehicles
'''Inhibitors'''
Cheaper cars
Cheaper oil prices or alternative technology making it more affordable to maintain a car
Lifestyle- people may associate cars with luxury and therefore prefer to travel in style
Lack of access to public transport as city centres get crowded people may move away to far areas where there may be no or very less public transport
'''Paradigms'''
Climate change regulations coupled with increased environmental awareness and traffic congestion problems will alter the way people think about travel and therefore they will switch to more efficient ways to travel, as well as to conserve energy, such as by using public transport. Increased use of public transport will encourage radical innovations such as superbus and these innovations will more or less determine the future of transport.
