The best selected essay: 'Future of public transport' from Hugo Odijk and Tim de Ridder (TU Delft)
Every year in the advanced public transport course at TU Delft, students write an essay on the future of mobility and public transport. Passenger association ROVER selects the best one according to the passengers' perspective and the authors of the winning essay are invited to record a podcast with Geert Kloppenburg in his Metroplitan Podcast series. This year, Hugo Odijk and Tim de Ridder were selected. Listen to their ideas to offer high quality public transport at national, regional and local levels, complemented by active and shared modes.
