As a member of UITP for over 8 years, it’s great to be able to give back and present a session on funding and financing of public transport last week. With over 30 participants across the globe ranging from Nepal to Portugal, it was a lively and interactive session covering the challenges such as driver shortage to opportunities e.g. branding and naming rights at stations.
