Leapfrog Technology Requirements

Application to Trackless Tram Systems

Comments

1. Economical enough

Very cheap mass transit, not as cheap as separate buses or jitneys. See also 3.

2. Less Technical

Requires some smart systems but only enough for mobile phone telephony

3. Lends itself to Partnership

Ideal for working with developers who can help finance it through urban centres at stations.

4. Lends itself to Community Engagement

Communities are very keen for better transit.

5. Enables Co-development

Many overlaps with economic development as it creates agglomeration economies.

6. Fulfils Sustainable Development Goals

Very strong on all SDG’s due to equity, health and environmental improvements.
