Social distancing – the death knell for public transport?
About this Event
PTRC Education and Research Services, a company within CILT(UK), invite you to join us for an online panel discussion.
With COVID-19 lockdown across the world came a sharp reduction in traffic. With widespread enforced working from home came hope that a new normal might see less commuting by car in future. Then came the stark realisation that social distancing and public transport use are incompatible if not mutually exclusive. What does this mean for the transition out of lockdown and for the battle to reclaim use of the streets? Is it now the car versus walking, cycling and homeworking, with public transport in cities mortally wounded?

CILT is pleased to invite you to the second in its series of Fireside Chats<http://ciltemail.org.uk/cilt2011lz/lz.aspx?p1=M7KDUxMTQ0MlM1MjYxOjYxNzY4RkY3QjJBOURFNzFBOTI1NjhBMjk2QjA3NDI5-&CC=&w=51942> on Thursday 28th May 2020.
In partnership with PTRC, starting at 16.00hrs, Social distancing: the death knell for public transport?<http://ciltemail.org.uk/cilt2011lz/lz.aspx?p1=M7KDUxMTQ0MlM1MjYxOjYxNzY4RkY3QjJBOURFNzFBOTI1NjhBMjk2QjA3NDI5-&CC=&w=51945> will look at the future of public transport and more specifically the bus sector, as lockdowns around the world begin to ease.
Is it now the car vs walking, cycling and homeworking? Is public transport mortally wounded?
Public transport needs a game plan to survive and to play its part in shaping a better future, particularly for the many who do not have a car.
We understand that running public transport is expensive and cannot be sustained without passengers using and paying for its services.
Join us, your peers and industry experts, for this special 90-minute panel debate to consider the urgent matter of what is to become of public transport.
This webinar will highlight some of the main challenges on the horizon for the transport sector, but will also draw out creative solutions to overcoming them.
To frame this Fireside Chat are the following questions:
1. What does social distancing really mean when using public transport?
2. Who is responsible for governing the use of public transport while virus transmission remains a risk and how strictly will or should it be governed?
3. What level and nature of public transport supply is appropriate during the transition out of the public health risk from Covid-19 and what support is required to deliver it?
4. How serious are the implications for social inequality of public transport being under threat?
5. Is public transport set to be permanently scarred from Covid-19 or will it come back even stronger?
This Fireside Chat will be chaired by Glenn Lyons, Mott MacDonald, Professor of Future Mobility, UWE Bristol.

Did you miss the first Fireside Chat?
Coronavirus and the future of Transport Planning was the theme of CILT and PTRC's first Fireside Chat, and posed the question whether or not Covid-19 will jolt the transport sector into significant change?
