“This has had a tremendous impact on our bus systems and paratransit systems.”

As COVID-19 affects public transit dramatically, we’re proud to present a special edition of Transit Unplugged led by transit evangelist and Trapeze VP Paul Comfort. In today's episode, we discuss how rural communities are dealing with COVID-19, and if there is a federal transit stimulus coming for Canada. We then hear from J. Roger Morton, President and GM of Oahu Transit Services, about the impact COVID-19 is having on his agency and its existing projects. Plus, Jeff Ardnt, CEO of VIA Metropolitan Transit, reads his chapter from the bestselling new book, “The Future of Public Transportation.”
