What I think is the key issue to address in thinking ahead:
How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer’s changing
expectations and behaviour.
![Page 7: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In a nutshell…• Customers are not loyal, unless they benefit from
being so• Information is power. Consumers have more of it at
their fingertips than ever before. And share it.• Suppliers don’t know their customers as well as they
think they do.• Suppliers are behind the game and constantly being
overtaken by the consumer.• Trying to control the customer is a mug’s game.
– even when you have their best interests very much at heart.

3 different views of the travel proposition
• Supplier’s view“These are our services”“Our next bus runs past here in 2 hours” (if you’re lucky)
![Page 9: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3 different views of the travel proposition
Customer’s view“I have an idea of what I want, but I’m not
sure what’s available. Help me choose”.
“I am prepared to modify my plans when I know what choices are available, and the price etc”.
![Page 10: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3 different views of the travel proposition
• Intermediary’s view“We have studied what’s available and we
think we can help you in choosing”.
“We would like you to make your buying decision through us and we will deal with the supplier on your behalf”.
![Page 11: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It’s all about who the customer can trust.
• Does the operator or the intermediary have the customer’s best interests at heart?
• What are the hidden agendas?
• Do the operators really think with a customer’s perspective?(and honestly, do public authorities either?)
![Page 12: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Customers now have the power to change things
![Page 13: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Old thinking vs new thinking
• Supplier“How do we provide information without
spending too much money?”
“Why should we care if the customer doesn’t get the best deal as long as they’ve bought from us”.
![Page 14: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Old thinking vs new thinking
• Customer“These guys have let me down - and I’m going
to make them suffer”
“I will find a better alternative”
![Page 15: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Old thinking vs new thinking
• Intermediary “Hey, there’s a role we can play, and make
money from, by helping the buyers without having to be the provider”.
![Page 16: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The role of the intermediary
• Trusted• Comprehensive info• New connections• Current and immediate• Single transaction• Open to feedback• Journey’s friend…

![Page 25: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Technology makes all this possible
• Loyalty and compensation– We know your activity– We know you are a regular user– We know we messed up– We can make new connections for you
![Page 26: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How can we get everyone on board to the new paradigm?
• If it works in London then why not elsewhere?
• Can we get all the operators on board?
• We have the technology, but how can we change the view on commercial relationships?
![Page 27: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The information challengeChoices to make
• A comprehensive publicly provided service?
• An commercial information marketplace?
• Public or personalised information?
![Page 28: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The payment challengeChoices to make
• There and then, with a pre-pay card?
• Afterwards, on the basis of what you’ve used?
• A common ‘ticket’? How can we justify multiple transactions in the modern world?
![Page 29: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Other things to remember…
• Today’s consumer requires an interactive and sequential way in which to assess and refine their options.
![Page 30: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• In the age of the smartphone you can assess the GIS location for travellers.
• Based on their location you can propose alternative suitable destinations or activities (e.g. eating, shopping, accommodation, entertainment)
• And they should be able to buy it there and then with their smartphone, too!
A world of opportunities to make a better offer!
(and make the best of the existing offer)
![Page 31: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
So what will come next?
• Oyster is brilliant, but the next generation is already arriving.
• What will it be? Debit/credit card based? Mobile phone based? A combination? NFC / EMV / QR Codes?
![Page 32: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Who will be trusted in the future?
• Digital consumer giants? (Apple, Ebay, Google)
• Smart technology systems? (Cubic, Thales, Trapeze, Vix)
• The motor industry? (Mercedes, BMW, Ford)
• Public bodies? (TfL, PTE’s, Traveline)
• The transport operators?

2020 Vision
• Who will be in the driving seat in 2020?
• Probably someone we haven’t yet imagined.
![Page 34: How the transport matrix is being reshaped by the consumer's changing expectations and behaviour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480eb5fb4af9f0b628b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Did you see the following coming?
