RE: Coronavirus and the public transport industry.
Yesterday's Newsnight touched on the the likelihood of companies permanently adopting home working or at least downsizing workplaces. The associated impact on public transport was discussed. As less people travel to work at all and many workplaces are decentralised, public transport requirements are less straight-forward. The hub-spoke orientated around the city centre will not be relevant for many people. The conclusion was public transport will become less profitable and there will need to be a grown-up conversation about whether government takes control over transport or we collectively decide we don't need it to the same extent we did.
