Sarah Boyd is Transport Woman of the Year. As Chief Executive Officer of Lothian Transport, she leads both Lothian Buses, which is Bus Operator of the Year and Edinburgh Trams, which is Tram Operator of the Year.
Feels like Lothian Transport is doing something right…
In today’s episode of The Freewheeling Podcast we get under the skin of why it’s all going so well in Edinburgh.
Sarah describes the importance of a long-term culture and of having a set of planning rules for an entire network.
We also speculate on whether Lothian’s unusual governance (a commercial company owned by a political body) is part of the secret of its success.
In a sector in which problems can often be high-profile, Edinburgh’s transport is something of an under-reported success.
