Disability and Transport with Sandra Witzel
Sandra Witzel is comparatively unusual.
Millions of people in Britain are disabled, while hundreds of thousands work in transport. But there isn’t as much overlap, especially at a senior level.
So today’s discussion is all about Sandra’s perspectives on how transport needs to change to avoid disabling people, and about the sector’s willingness to make those changes.
Sandra’s day job is at Skedgo, so we finish off with a chat about the status of Mobility-as-a-Service (Maas), now we’re past the peak of the hype cycle.

Nationwide Digital Ticketing with Tina Christensen
This year, Denmark will replace all its public transport ticketing systems with a new fully pay-as-you-go digital app.
Customers will get a transformationally better service; operators get a cost saving. What’s not to like?
This is all being delivered by the “Rejsekort & Rejseplan”, a dedicated organisation devoted to transport ticketing and information.
It is run by Tina Christensen, who tells me all about the culture change necessary to deliver this digital transformation.
It’s an inspirational story for any country further behind on digital ticketing (which is almost all of them).
