Citizens are the focal point of improving urban transport systems. They are important because they can depict the actual demands and expectations of the passengers. When we involve the citizens in the decision-making process, we guarantee adopting more efficient outcomes.
We propose creating a digital voting hub to make the participation process for evaluating and developing the transport system in urban areas more efficient, flexible and demand-based. Allowing citizens, the option to vote through the digital voting hub increases voter turnout and considers the actual expectation of passengers.
