Technology is changing the face of public transport and one industry leader intent on ensuring he takes full advantage of the opportunities, rather than being fearful of it, is Transdev Blazefield chief executive officer Alex Hornby, one of the bright young things of the business.
While he appreciates that some technology can be gimmicky, he also recognises that riding with it is vital to the future of the bus business.
