Mobility Redefined

Public transport is under pressure to do more with less: cutting emissions, managing ageing infrastructure and meeting rising passenger expectations, all while budgets remain tight. In this episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz speaks with Gautier Brodeo, President of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), about how the sector can meet these demands without losing sight of the people it serves.Gautier shares his view on the biggest challenges facing public transport today, from climate adaptation to workforce shortages, and explains why AI and automation should support staff rather than replace them. He also discusses UITP's priorities for accelerating decarbonisation, the barriers to net zero mobility, and why urban density remains central to building successful transport networks.Whether you lead an authority, an operator, or a supplier, this conversation offers a clear view of where global public transport is heading, and what it will take to get more people choosing it, more often.Chapters:00:00 Welcome and Intro00:17 Meet UITP President Gautier02:01 Biggest Challenges and Trends06:17 UITP Priorities10:12 World Public Transport Day12:11 AI and Digital Investment Focus15:09 Workforce and Future Skills19:42 Net Zero Barriers and Solutions26:09 Mobility Vision for 203528:14 Closing Thoughts and Sign OffConnect with Us:Website: https://mobilityredefined.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mobility-redefined/ Mobility Redefined is brought to you by Modaxo https://www.modaxo.comHost: Dr. Kaan YildizgozProducer: Mike CartmelExecutive Producer: Darren TurpinSpecial thanks to:Brand design: Tina OlagundoyeDigital Media: Belén Iturrioz CampoMarketing content and Mobility Redefined newsletter: Mike CartmelIf you have a question or comment, email us at [email protected] Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

The mobility sector is at a turning point. Investment is recovering after the correction that followed the 2021 peak, autonomous vehicles are moving from pilots to commercial deployment, and cities around the world are beginning to reshape how people move. For transport leaders, understanding where capital is going and why has never been more important.In this episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz speaks with Dr. Timo Möller, partner at McKinsey and co-leader of McKinsey's Center for Future Mobility. Timo draws on McKinsey's global research to examine how investor priorities have shifted from growth to profitability, where the next wave of value is forming across autonomous, electric, and shared mobility, and why the pace of electrification looks very different depending on which region you are operating in.If you are leading or advising a public transport organisation, this episode offers a grounded, data-informed perspective on what is coming, how fast, and where the real opportunities lie between now and 2030.Connect with Us:Website: https://mobilityredefined.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mobility-redefined/ Mobility Redefined is brought to you by Modaxo https://www.modaxo.comHost: Dr. Kaan YildizgozProducer: Mike CartmelExecutive Producer: Darren TurpinSpecial thanks to:Brand design: Tina OlagundoyeDigital Media: Belén Iturrioz CampoMarketing content and Mobility Redefined newsletter: Mike CartmelIf you have a question or comment, email us at [email protected] Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

Rail is returning to the centre of global mobility conversations, driven by climate pressures, energy concerns, and shifting geopolitical realities. In this episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz speaks with Antonio Garcia Pastor, Global Strategy Director at RENFE, about why rail is increasingly seen as critical national infrastructure.Antonio shares insights from one of Europe’s largest rail operators, covering climate resilience planning, digital transformation, automation, and the importance of passenger experience. He also explores how rail systems are adapting to extreme weather, supply chain disruption, and evolving safety expectations.From funding challenges to the role of rail in territorial cohesion, this episode offers a clear view of where the sector is heading and why investment in rail today is essential for the future.Chapter Timings00:00 Podcast Intro00:17 Meet Antonio Garcia Pastor02:13 RENFE Overview And Scale04:38 Rail As Strategic Asset09:48 Climate Resilience Planning15:49 Automation And Smart Maintenance17:56 Safety Culture And Cybersecurity24:32 Funding Railways Future29:35 Final Takeaways And OutroConnect with Us:Website: https://mobilityredefined.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mobility-redefined/Mobility Redefined is brought to you by Modaxo https://www.modaxo.comHost: Dr. Kaan YildizgozProducer: Mike CartmelExecutive Producer: Darren TurpinSpecial thanks to:Brand design: Tina OlagundoyeDigital Media: Belén Iturrioz CampoMarketing content and Mobility Redefined newsletter: Mike CartmelIf you have a question or comment, email us at [email protected]: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).
