Public transport sector is undergoing major transformation owing to the availability of various mobility options in the cities, as well as, changing riders’ behavior.

Further, there is an expectation of incentives and rewards in the event of such an inconvenience. The podcast will touch on various key issues including predicting users’ behavior using smartphone data, data privacy issues, customer satisfaction and loyalty in public transport, and how to win back riders.
