In this episode of Transit Unplugged, Paul talks with Samuel Ribeiro, Managing Director of Tower Transit in the UK, part of global transport powerhouse Kelsian Group. With operations spanning Liverpool and the Channel Islands, Samuel shares how lessons from bus systems across four continents—from Australia to Singapore, Brazil to London—are helping Tower Transit improve public transport service in the UK.
They dive into:
- The nuances of operating in franchised models like in the UK's London and Jersey systems
- How global innovation is shared across Kelsian's operations
- Samuel’s unusual path from international banking into public transport
- The strategic role Tower Transit plays in regions like Liverpool, ahead of major franchising shifts
And yes—there’s a delightful Jersey potato tangent too.
Whether you're a transit operator, policy maker, or just enjoy hearing how buses are quietly running the world, this is one to tune into.
