“When looking through an industrial lens, how the future of transit might look will highly depend on its workforce. It will depend on the future of decent and sustainable work in urban transport services.”

On this episode of Comfort’s Corner, part of the Transit Unplugged podcast, Alejandra Cruz Ross joins Paul Comfort from Geneva to discuss her career, outlook on the future of public transit, and career goals. Though most importantly, as the Transport Specialist in the Sectoral Policies Department with the International Labor Office (ILO), part of the United Nations, Alejandra dives into the ILO’s most recent report titled, COVID-19 and Urban Passenger Transport Services. This report covers the preliminary impacts of COVID-19 on urban transport and its workers and the response of ILO constituents, as well as a selection of related resources.
