Transit mobility has a road of transformation ahead of it and learning from top executives pushes the ability to affect real change. Transit Unplugged shares creative ideas to solve challenges and the latest in transit technology to help define what transit mobility truly means.
“Transit Unplugged provides an opportunity for those who work in the public transit industry to hear directly from the top CEOs in our business and why they think transit mobility has the potential to revolutionize our cities and communities for the betterment of our riders. The CEOs’ life stories inspire, their current operations and challenges give us ideas on how to approach similar issues, and the discussion of future transit trends help us prepare for tomorrow,” said Paul Comfort, VP of business development, Trapeze Group and host of Transit Unplugged.
