Transport experts and officials to be questioned on reforming public transport after the pandemic

• Watch the session on Parliament TV
• Inquiry: Reforming public transport after the pandemic
• Transport Committee

MPs will question witnesses on how other countries are grappling with the challenges the pandemic placed on transport systems worldwide. The Committee will also look to:

• examine what lessons the UK can learn from how governments and transport authorities in other countries are responding to the transport challenges raised by the pandemic.
  
  
• generate ideas about what reforms to public transport could be introduced in the UK to address the problems raised by the pandemic and deliver some of the UK Government’s policy objectives, such as its net-zero carbon emissions target.
