#RailNatter Episode 140: The permanence of the permanent way and why people prefer trams to buses

from #Railnatter · host Gareth Dennis

This week's #RailNatter sees returning champion Dr Kevin Tennent help us tackle one of the big questions in the transport world... Why do people prefer trams (real ones) to buses? Why does fixed infrastructure drive greater modal shift than vehicles on roads only? We'll look at why a "permanent way" is important (and also what it is), but also why it isn't the only variable that gets people out of cars and onto public transport. Enjoyed this?
