**1. Introduction**

This chapter is in three main sections, plus a conclusion at the end.

The first section covers what happens as we get older, in terms of abilities, skills cognition, psychological and social changes and changes in technological 'savvy' or awareness.

The second section looks at how changes in transport systems can be made much more useful and usable for older people; in addition the vision of the future that is MaaS in the UK is considered, especially for the older and more infirm category of older people.

Finally there are a number of considerations [such as ergonomic ones] in terms of the older traveller using new technology to aid their travel, and what the requirements are for that to work as well as possible.
