I am spending this whole week in Moscow assisting the organizer of the Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Games in Sochi 2014 in a workshop on Bus Operations. With a knowledgable advisor, an interested transport team, a nice atmosphere and good coffee, knowledge sharing is a fun sport. A complex project like this has many challenges and transport is among the biggest. So how do you succeed? Well, what I have learned today is that you start with the clients' needs and work on your service level agreements. Then you have to develop and agree on the route network, the bus timetables, the bus schedules, the driver roster, the depot staffing and rostering, design and operations. So now you just need to know where to get all the buses you need, how to recruit the staff, how to train them, where to accomodate them and feed them.....Easy? No, not really. I am glad there is knowledge to provide .....and may be we can create some too?
