The global public transportation market size is expected to reach USD 433.34 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Public Transportation Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Distribution Channel (Online, Offline), By Mode Type (Road, Rail), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The Singapore federal government's Smart Mobility 2030 Strategic Plan is driving the widespread adoption of big data analytics and data-driven methodologies to enhance the analysis of traveler experiences and enable smarter traffic management. Tools like the Orange Transport Video Alert are extensively employed to gain real-time insights into traffic congestion and street conditions through video streams. Similarly, in November 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced substantial annual investments of $160 million over the next five years in two key programs.
The first program, Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) grants will receive $100 million annually to fund projects that utilize data and technology to address real-world challenges faced by communities. The second program, the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) program by the Federal Highway Administration, will receive an investment of $60 million. This program aims to promote technological advancements that ensure safety and minimize travel times for transit riders and drivers.

Government authorities and travel agencies in developed regions are actively reevaluating road pricing strategies to address the challenges of traffic congestion and pollution challenges. The World Economic Forum's Sustainable Road Transport and Pricing report, released in December 2021, highlighted the adoption of "congestion pricing" strategies in major cities like London, Singapore, Stockholm, and certain cities in the United States. These strategies involve implementing fees or charges for vehicles traveling on the busiest roads of these cities. The primary objective is to alleviate traffic congestion and incentivize the use of public transportation alternatives. As a result, local authorities strive to reduce traffic congestion while improving public transportation systems, ultimately contributing to the market's growth.
Several governments are implementing reduced fares and free services for specific age groups to promote travel via public transportation. Notably, in March 2022 and September 2021, Detroit and Miami introduced free public transportation options and convenient door-to-door services for individuals with disabilities and elderly passengers. As the costs associated with mass transit are generally lower than the fixed and operational costs of car ownership, people are increasingly drawn to utilizing public transportation. Consequently, local governments are actively engaging older adults in public transportation usage, aiming to alleviate traffic congestion and improve overall public transportation systems. These efforts are key drivers of market growth.
