Optimizing Transit Through Data: Saar Golde

Why do some transportation technologies quietly reshape cities while others dominate headlines but stall in practice? Saar Golde, Chief Data Scientist at Via, joins host Gregg Fisher of Quent Capital to examine what the data actually says about the future of transportation—separating durable system-level change from speculative noise.From ride-hailing and EVs to shared transit, autonomous vehicles, and AI-driven optimization, Golde and Fisher explore how transportation is evolving not through flashier vehicles, but through smarter coordination, better data, and human-centered design. A grounded, data-driven conversation on how cities move, how technology scales, and where real value is being created over the next decade.
