Flattening the peak travel period
About
Across our sector, various organisations are exploring and implementing schemes to incentivise an adjustment in commuter behaviour with the hope of aiding improved services during the busiest times. Especially in the current context, it is important for our sector to be able to transport riders safely and reliably.
One manner of ensuring this is increasing usage during non-peak hours and thus distributing the rush hour crowds.
The webinar will be moderated by Indira Khara, Manager- Knowledge and Innovation, Secretary General’s Office, UITP.
