Webinar: Changing bus networks

Bus Centre of Excellence

Changing bus networks through an incremental process versus a single-step approach

Restructuring bus networks can be carried out as an incremental process, where each part is revised in phased programme, or in a single-step, in which an entire network is recast simultaneously. In this webinar, four international case studies will be used to compare different approaches, suggesting that the incremental process may incur less risk. This may be of particular relevance in Britain, given moves to adopt franchising in some large urban areas. Presenters:Professor Peter White, FCILTPeter White is Emeritus Professor of Public Transport Systems at the University of Westminster. He is the author of the book ‘Public Transport: Its planning, management and operation’ (now in its 6th edition) and numerous other papers and reports. His research has evaluated the impacts of many innovations in public transport, including high-frequency urban minibuses, data from smartcards, and effects of regulatory changes. Dr Thérèse BajadaThérèse Bajada is a Senior Lecturer at the Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development at the University of Malta. Her PhD was about the impact of bus reform on behaviour and policy, for which she used the case study of Malta’s public transport reform of 2011. She published in peer reviewed journals and book chapters on various aspects of the impact of reform ranging from operations to tourists’ attitudes of bus use. As an outcome of the PhD research recently, Thérèse wrote a book for 10-year olds on the use of different modes of sustainable mobility: walking, cycling and bus use. The book will be published in the coming months. Prior to joining academia Thérèse worked with the transport regulator in Malta. Currently, she also holds the position of chairperson of the Malta Road Safety Council. Please note that during registration you will be asked some optional diversity questions.
