Stephen Bush on the Politics of Transport

Stephen Bush, 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨, is one of the few political journalists who truly gets transport policy.

In this episode, we talk about why transport matters far more to economic productivity than politicians realise, why ambition in major infrastructure projects has declined since the financial crisis and why simply nationalising services won't fix public transport.
