Summary
Public transport is under pressure to do more with less: cutting emissions, managing ageing infrastructure and meeting rising passenger expectations, all while budgets remain tight. In this episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz speaks with Gautier Brodeo, President of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), about how the sector can meet these demands without losing sight of the people it serves. Gautier shares his view on the biggest challenges facing public transport today, from climate adaptation to workforce shortages, and explains why AI and automation should support staff rather than replace them. He also discusses UITP's priorities for accelerating decarbonisation, the barriers to net zero mobility, and why urban density remains central to building successful transport networks. Whether you lead an authority, an operator, or a supplier, this conversation offers a clear view of where global public transport is heading, and what it will take to get more people choosing it, more often.
