By Olivier BadardWherever you look in the world, cities are grappling with how to develop cleaner, cheaper and easier modes of transport. I believe that cities across the Middle East are able to show the world how clean, green, bold transport solutions can create the cities of the future. Given this potential and given that much of this economic potential will be realized in the Middle Eastern cities, transport must be central to these plans. High quality transport networks reduce business costs, increase private sector investment and boost cities’ attractiveness for both domestic and international investors. It marks the rise of a public transport system that opens to unique multimodal capabilities ranging from bus, metro to tramway and suburban, and to seamless and efficient integration.
