93% of locals in Sweden find it easy to move around Stockholm. They can easily take ‘multimodal journeys’, switching from walking and cycling to trams and trains, with satisfying ease. Would Sydneysiders say the same thing for their city?

We recently heard from Mattias Askerson on the Sweden’s approach to multimodal public transport, from rolling out on-demand electric buses to retrofitting older developments with sustainable transport.

Mattias was then joined by panellists Simon Hunter, Sara Stace and moderator Estelle Grech to discuss the recent changes, challenges and opportunities that multimodal trips face in Sydney.

Speakers

Mattias Askerson, Policy Advisor to Sweden’s former Regional Minister of Transport

Estelle Grech, Policy Manager, Committee for Sydney 

Sara Stace, Director of Cities at WSP

Simon Hunter, Chief Transport Planner at Transport for New South Wales
