Very proud to see our team behind @Motion_KLA at Kampala University. Congestion and disruptions are a problem in the Ugandan capital. @mytransport is bringing real-time incident and disruption data to Kampala for the first time, freeing up time for local commuters. ✌🏽🚐📲

If you use public transport in London, you might have to mind a physical gap, but there won’t be a data gap. In emerging markets, that data gap is a very real challenge. Artificial Intelligence is increasingly helping us overcome it at @mytransport Here's how 👇🏽 🧵

👀 Did you catch us at the Perú Independiente fair? 🇵🇪 We were on site talking to current and (hopefully!) future @rumbo_pe users about how to improve their public transport experiences. Spoiler alert 👇🏽 pe.rumbo.app/
Exciting times at @mytransport 🚀 These Lagos 📸 reminded me how tightly wound the informal economy is in people's lives. All over the world, people need to get from A to B 🚌📍We map the unmapped, giving people a new way to understand cities. More 👇🏽 whereismytransport.com/about

This Song Taew in #Bangkok reminded me how transformative the QR code has become. 45 Song Taews have been emblazoned with Rumbo branding—@mytransport's public transport app—helping introduce our product to even more public transport users in #Thailand's capital 🇹🇭🚐📲

This meme goes viral quite regularly, prompting people in developed markets to think about the impact of their mobility choices. But it's also a warning to emerging markets about the options available to them as they grow. Here's why that matters... 🧵

It was a treat to speak on the #LACoMotion panel for “Solving the New Mobility Puzzle”. Thanks to @chris_teale for moderating and @ellie_casson @Waymo, @DDOTDCDirector, @planetm for the engaging conversation. I hope the @mytransport contribution was revealing for all. ✌🏽

Thank you to all that attended my talk yesterday on the importance of uncovering informal public transport data in emerging cities. Many thanks to @MOVE_Event and @Terrapinn for making this all happen.
