This week's show is an edited re-broadcast of the UITP and Trapeze-sponsored Connected Journeys webinar from earlier this summer.

Paul leads a discussion with:

  • Abimbola Akinajo, CEO, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) 
  • Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO, Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)
  • Djan Fanny, Director of Operations, AMUGA

About what they are doing to promote public transit and develop more integrated, connected journeys in their cities.

This episode brings home how, around the world, all transit agencies face the same challenges getting people to choose transit over private cars. The innovations the panelists are bringing in--like loyalty card programs and autonomous taxis--are truly innovative tools we all need to take note of.

Next week on Transit Unplugged, Paul talks with frequent contributor Mike Bismeyer about his Kindness is Cool campaign and his recent CUTA award. Then Paul will talk with Modaxo's Roger Helmy about innovations in transit and what their vision of the future of transit is.
