Movement Matters | Disruption or decline, what’s next for the black cab?
10 May, 2017, 8.30am-10.00am
Blue Fin Venue, 110 Southwark St, SE1 0SU, London
On-demand taxi services from companies such as Uber and Gett are providing new ways of travelling around our cities and towns. In many cities these services are offering greater numbers of vehicles and lower prices than traditional black cabs and minicabs, providing greater choice for users.
This seminar will discuss the future of the black cab in London and explore how the industry is adapting to respond to new transport technologies.
Our specially-selected expert panel will discuss the future of the black cab and the taxi and private hire industry more widely, including how the sector can adapt to address air quality, integrate with other transport modes through Mobility as a Service and evolve with the introduction of Autonomous Vehicles.
Speakers
Thomas Moody, Head of Policy and Service Development, Transport for London
Matteo de Renzi, CEO, Gett Taxi
Matthew Clark, Associate, Steer Davies Gleave
A tasty breakfast will be provided!
You can also sign up for other Movement Matters events here.
About Movement Matters
Movement Matters is a series of inspirational seminars, debates and workshops, presented by Steer Davies Gleave exploring how transport shapes and influences places, people and economies.
Drawing on experience from international leaders in transport, government and related-industries, we share insights, and debate opportunities and challenges. Our series of events spans the UK and America, with sessions planned in London, Leeds and Manchester, and in the USA in Los Angeles, Boston and New York.
The UK sessions feature a range of thought-provoking and stimulating topics including the relationship of technology and transport, the challenges of increasing urbanization and the demographic timebomb and its effects to our cities.
Steer Davies Gleave’s Movement Matters series provide a burst of fresh thinking without keeping you out of the office for too long.
