Franchising: A Smarter Model for Today’s Transport Challenges

by Sep 16, 2025E-book

As cities face shifting travel patterns, sustainability targets, and increasing pressure on operating budgets, franchising is once again being seen as an attractive model. By giving authorities greater control over service design and standards, franchising can help ensure the delivery of efficient, reliable, and integrated networks.

With demand proving less predictable due to changing commuter habits and new mobility options, bus, light rail, and ferry operators, some of whom have been cautious about franchising in the past, may now be more receptive. The model offers relative stability, clearer revenue expectations, and reduced risk at a time when route profitability and service levels are under closer public scrutiny.
