#76 – Operating a Metro with Ralph Heredia

Doc Frank chats with Ralph Heredia from Sydney in Australia. Ralph recently made the jump from a government-owned suburban rail operator to a private international operator of the future metro line to the new Western Sydney Airport.

We talk about various aspects of cultural change, the future outlook for Sydney Metro, the benefits of having more than one operator for a metro network, international best practice of operating a metro, and much more.
