Railway Conversations with Doc Frank

#68 – CBTC for a Greenfield Metro with Bill Whitmore (Part 2)

Doc Frank

This is the rest of the long-form conversation between Doc Frank and Bill Whitmore from Tel Aviv, Israel. With a view on the upcoming rollout of Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) for Tel Aviv’s three-line greenfield metro network, we discuss different options for the provision of interoperable CBTC, lock-in risks with a CBTC supplier, pros and cons of segregated versus interconnected metro lines, tricks for CBTC procurement to minimise the risk of future price hikes, and much more.
