Autonomous mobility will complement Public Transport | Debra A. Johnson
Description
Public transport is the business of people moving people and is really the great societal equalizer. Mobility ensures that people can access to job and other opportunities. If the customer get a better service, they will come back and bring more people on the job. Thus, customer service plays an important role. Public Transport needs to transform to improve customer experience including adoption of digitalization, open loop payment, on-demand transit and integration with autonomous mobility. RTD Denver is investing heavily to improve the service quality and reliability.
