The outlook regarding the acquisition of new vehicles must target the development of urban transport with a structured offer, i.e. volumes that are aligned with demand and a higher standard of quality. This means that the following points must be clearly identified beforehand:
- The development prospects of the agglomeration in the short, medium and long term, and their impact on the future demand for travel (potentially included in an urban mobility plan);
- Projects for the creation and/or extension of urban routes;
- The type of route (or even system) that is aligned with these changes and a comprehensive definition of the technical characteristics of the vehicles;
- Accompanying measures that guarantee the operational consistency and effectiveness of the investment.
