Welcome back to the third podcast celebrating the second edition of Don Riley’s Taken for a Ride – Trains, Taxpayers and the Treasury. Today we are speaking with Dave Wetzel, a committed socialist and environmental campaigner. Whilst he had diametrically opposed political views to Don, they were friends and campaigned together to change government policy.
Dave was the first vice chair of Transport for London working with Ken Livingstone to spearhead a mesmerising number of improvements to London’s transport, especially buses. In this interview we look at how he and others worked to improve communities through better transport and how we could have much better cities and lower taxes if we focused on the value added by well thought out public transport investments.
