Covid-19 made a considerable impact on the local public transport sector which, during lockdown, turned to technology to prepare for a post-pandemic future. The recovery of the industry has been aided by technological innovations — and the Gautrain has led from the front.
But is Africa really ready for the digitisation of the public transport sector? What is smart, data-centric mobility? And how can technology be applied more broadly to enable the transport sector and the passengers it serves?
These questions were explored in the third of a series of four TimesLIVE Dialogues, in partnership with the Gautrain Management Agency, on March 22.
Hosted by well-known media personality Joanne Joseph, it featured insights from experts such as Tshepo Kgobe, COO of the Gautrain Management Agency.
