DRT: A key lever to bridge mobility gaps
DRT: A key lever to bridge mobility gaps
Empowered by technology and in line with customers’ digital habits, demand-responsive transport (DRT) is extending shared-mobility coverage and optimizing public transit. In this Viewpoint, we examine the extent to which DRT can help public transport authorities (PTAs) and public transport operators (PTOs) build more sustainable, resilient, and human-centric mobility systems.
Energy: New business pillar for transport infrastructure operators

TRANSFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN USED CAR MARKET
TRANSFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN USED CAR MARKET
The European used car (UC) market is seeing unparalleled attention and investment. While OEMs have long understood the links between new and used markets, they typically exercised only indirect control over second and third transactions. New, well-funded channels have emerged, as OEMs struggle to simultaneously manage the powertrain transition and investments in software-enabled vehicles. OEMs’ pursuit of downstream value is creating a clash with the disruptors: UC supermarkets, vertically integrated competitors, and digital platforms.
End-to-end incident management in transport: A key driver of customer excellence
End-to-end incident management in transport: A key driver of customer excellence
Performance around punctuality (and regularity) has not made enough progress in reaching customers’ high standards in spite of many programs. Similarly, the occurrence of other adverse events — faulty passenger information, defective seats — and the absence of prompt, satisfactory treatment of such issues generate disappointment, which may offset any positive customer experiences. In this Viewpoint, we reflect on the levers transport operators should put in place to better prevent, identify, and control operational incidents — and boost customer satisfaction.
