The Passenger of Tomorrow: A Need for Options
Fundamentals of the
business are simple, said
Bernard Tabary, Keolis CEO
International: “A: safety, safety,
safety, which is at the core of
any mobility.” He continued,
“Beyond safety, there’s the
expectation of the basic
features of dependability
and information.
“People really want to
trust the mode they are
going to use and they want
that level of attention and
they want that level of
information that makes them
feel … knowledgeable.
“The sophistication of
mobility on personalization,”
Tabary said, “is something
that will suddenly make
mobility more pleasant.
“And the piece that’s our
task is to facilitate that.”
Keolis is a transportation
operator, operating public
transportation networks on
behalf of 300 transportation
authorities around the world
in 16 countries. It operates
more than 10 modes of
transportation, including
trains, buses, motorcoach,
bikeshare, carshare and
autonomous shuttles.
Today’s transportation
climate is facing its share
of challenges, including
the higher cost of mobility.
As there continue to be
a better utilization of
assets, he believes that
could trend downward.
The road to lower mobility
costs is also through shared
mobility. “ … parking and
urbanization itself will
change,” he explained.
“You may have cities with
investments in various
modes of transport which
suddenly don’t seem all that
relevant anymore, where
either the capacity or the
scales will not be aligned
with the new demands.”
