    Prague's Transport Evolution: A Conversation with Jan Barchanek, DPP Transport Director

    Prague's public transport network carries close to a billion passenger journeys a year through one of Europe's most protected historic city centres, while racing to modernise for the decades ahead. Balancing heritage, growth and technology is no small task, and few people understand that balance better than Jan Barchanek. In this episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz speaks with Jan Barchanek, Transport Director and COO of the Prague Public Transport Company (DPP), about running trams, buses and metro across a historic city with narrow streets and limited space for cars. Jan explains DPP's approach to smart electrification, the practicalities of driverless metro on Lines C and D, and how the ROPID-coordinated integrated ticketing system keeps buses, trams, rail and ferries working as one network. He also shares how DPP trains its workforce through its own dedicated training school, and why long-term financing certainty matters as much as new technology. Whether you lead a transport authority, an operator, or a technology business supporting one, this conversation offers a clear, practical view of how a major European capital keeps its network resilient, affordable and people-focused.

    As cities rethink how public transport is funded and run, four senior leaders came together to share what's actually working, and what isn't. Recorded live on the Modaxo stand at InnoTrans Berlin 2026, this special roundtable edition of Mobility Redefined tackles mobility at a crossroads: navigating the trends, challenges and future of the sector. Dr. Kaan Yıldızgöz is joined by Fernanda Esbizaro Rodrigues Rudnik, Board Director at ARTESP (Agência Reguladora de Transporte do Estado de São Paulo), Manuel Valdés López, CEO of the Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) in Barcelona, Cherie Lee, Chief Engineering Officer at Yarra Trams in Melbourne, and Lex Bentner, Head of Public Transport for the Ville de Luxembourg. Together they cover fare policy and subsidy trade-offs, private concession models, free public transport, bus electrification, and how ageing networks are using data to manage maintenance and supply chains. The panel closes by looking ten years ahead, sharing the one change each believes their organisation must achieve, followed by closing remarks from Bill Delaney, CEO of Modaxo. A candid, practical conversation for anyone working on the funding, governance or operation of public transport.

    Leading the Way in Global Mobility Solutions with Bill Delaney, Modaxo's Chief Executive Officer

    Technology now touches almost every journey people take, from buses and taxis to trains and airports. In this bonus episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz sits down with Bill Delaney, Chief Executive Officer of Modaxo, to explore what it takes to build and scale a global technology business dedicated to people movement. Bill explains why Modaxo deliberately avoids centralising its more than 40 businesses. Each one keeps the independence to serve its local market, and just as importantly, to develop offerings for narrow or specialist parts of the market rather than a one size fits all approach, while still sharing best practice across the group. He discusses Modaxo's expansion beyond traditional public transport into aviation, parking and traffic management, the company's commitment to never selling the businesses it acquires, and the growing gap between fast-moving technology and slow procurement cycles. Whether you lead a transport authority, an operator, or a technology business serving the sector, this conversation offers a candid look at how one of the industry's largest players thinks about growth, autonomy and long-term commitment.

    Building Better Cities Through Public Transport, People and Progress: Gautier Brodeo, President of UITP

    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.

    AVs, EVs, and the Future of Urban Mobility with McKinsey's Dr. Timo Möller

    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.
