ABSTRACT: Innovation in public transportation is considered an environment-friendly solution for growing demand. With regard to making the most use of existing infrastructure, Dutch rail sector is launching transport policy innovation “timetable-less travelling” which is defined as a set of tools, both hardware (physical) and software (algorithms or procedures). Innovation adoption is affected by numerous factors which asked for a systematic perspective. With the societal impacts framework and Success and Failure Factors (SFF) analysis, we form a clearer idea of the future of timetable-less travelling innovation.
