Julien Dehornoy of Yarra Trams on the Challenge of Updating an Iconic Tram System

Julien Dehornoy, CEO of Yarra Trams, is responsible for the iconic Melbourne streetcar tram system. This is storied tram system has run continuously since 1884 and is the longest light rail system in the world.

Which is a blessing and a curse.

Julien wants to modernize the tram system to make it more efficient, more nimble, more accessible, and faster. But that's easier said than done when you're working with legacy systems.

In this episode, you'll hear about Julien's vision for the future of the tram system and for public transport as a whole in Melbourne.

Next week on Transit Unplugged News and Views we head to Illinois and learn about the hydrogen generating and refueling complex at Champaign Urbana Mass Transit District. Hope you'll tune in.
