Cleveland, OH, September 12, 2018 — US public transport revenues are forecast to rise 4.1% per year in nominal terms through 2022, according to Public Transport: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Providers will benefit from continued economic expansion and rising employment levels, which will boost use among commuters and business travelers. Growing disposable personal incomes will support growth in recreation activity and associated use of public transport and ridesharing among vacationers and those attempting to reach local entertainment destinations. However, competition from personal light vehicle transport will continue to restrain spending.
To incentivize usage, many service providers will expand geographic market coverage to connect more regions and destinations. Providers are also expected to upgrade equipment with enhanced security technologies and amenities such as wireless internet.
