How to make long-distance travel in Europe better? | Podcast Episode on RSS.com
Why is it still so complicated to book a train ticket from Munich to Lisbon? Should short-haul flights in Europe be banned? And can night trains really become a viable alternative?In this episode, we talk about the challenges of long-distance travel in Europe with Oded Cats, full professor at the Delft University of Technology. He recently received an ERC Consolidator Grant to study how long-distance passenger transport systems can be better designed, coordinated, and scaled across borders.We discuss why international rail travel is still so fragmented, what role policy and infrastructure play, and why banning short-haul flights might not be as effective as we might think.More about our guest:https://www.tudelft.nl/citg/over-faculteit/afdelingen/transport-planning/staff/persoonlijke-paginas/cats-oMore about the research project:https://www.tudelft.nl/citg/over-faculteit/afdelingen/transport-planning/labs/smart-public-transport-lab/3mars Music recommendation of the episode:The Warmth, by Incubushttps://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/0LkssuXRYPFYapjXH9pJBX
