Peak Hour: How Corona will change TRAVEL IN CITIES

<p>How will <strong>transport in cities</strong> change after the COVID wave subsides? Will financial worries make high-frequency public transport a thing of the past, just when we need it most? And will we even WANT to live in cities any more? <strong>Jonn Elledge</strong> of urban nerdery site <a href="https://www.citymetric.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CityMetric</a> talks to <strong>Ros Taylor</strong> about the future of trains, buses and bikes… and why we might have missed the COVID opportunity to rethink transport.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ul><li>“Uber isn’t even good for Uber drivers. The company clearly wants to phase them out.”&nbsp;</li><li>“The Government is going to have to subsidise London’s transport again. If it doesn’t the city will grind to a halt.”</li><li>“If London life no longer exists as it once did, what’s the point of spending a fortune to live there?”&nbsp;</li><li>“I do worry that anything we were going to do about traffic, the moment has now passed.”&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><p><em>Presented by Ros Taylor.
