• Ensuring a holistic approach looking at inter-related issues is key for approaching change bought about by T&I
• Of what customers will need in the future
• How the drivers – energy, climate change, health, population demographics – will influence T&I
• Lifecycle – how a young person (18 y/o) views and uses transport might be completely different to an older person. More as a consumable, as part of the sharing economy.
• What this means for forecasting demand only leads to an increase in a range of scenarios for growth and/or decline in transport
