Transporting Cities helps operators & their staff to improve Passenger Experience.

We help operators increase their passengers by undertaking discreet assessments to provide a snapshot of service delivery. We provide our insight to staff in workshops to help them respond to changing consumer requirements and developments in mobility services.

Transporting Cities was founded by Liam Henderson to highlight global best practice and help public transport keep its place at the heart of mobility.

We arrive, we experience, we capture, we explain.

Our passenger experience audits record real time passenger experience, taking the role of a first-time user. We feed back our findings through workshops to help staff understand how passengers think.

Running to San Francisco Airport

Author: Matt Schutz My last post for Transporting Cities I had flown into Oakland Airport and taken the BART into San Francisco. This time, I was leaving SF via San Francisco’s main airport so I was going to make a proper comparison. As I left my hotel I got a notification that my connecting flight had been cancelled so the race was then on to get to the airport ASAP to get on another flight to Europe. Navigating the BART is definitely fun when you’re running to catch a fligh

Transperth’s Hubs

In the first of our articles on Perth I looked at the Passenger Experience provided across the city. In this second article I’m concentrating on the quirks found in the central interchange stations.

Perth Station Perth is the main stati

Up, Down and Around Hong Kong

In a previous article, I travelled on the Airport Express service into the central district of Hong Kong. Once in the city centre, it rained constantly so I had good use for the public transport options to get around. These included the MTR subway network, on-street light rail and the quite unusual Mid-Levels escalators. Central Hong Kong is split between ‘Central’ on Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon area across Victoria Harbour, on the mainland. The easiest way to travel bet

UP Express to Toronto Pearson Airport

Arriving at Toronto Pearson Airport, you can’t miss the anticipation of the new airport rail service, UP Express. There is a lot of signage at the airport promoting the predictable journey time and high frequency. Though the service doesn’t open until the 6th June, I joined the Global AirRail Alliance for a preview of the passenger experience that awaits.

London to Switzerland by Rail – Journey Planning

Short haul European flights are often affected by weather in the winter months. On a recent trip, it was essential to arrive in the Swiss Alps on time; therefore, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to experience making the journey by rail and see how easy it is to travel beyond the core high speed network that Eurostar connects to. My journey took me from London to the Swiss town of Verbier. It turns out that it’s not as easy as you may think to arrange, unless you have
