The city of Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, won the 2021 Sustainable Transport Award and made the public transport system a priority in the last four years. “Other than connecting places, public transport also connects people” says Jakarta’s Governor Anies Baswedan. “Global equitable access to public transport is urgent to stop the climate crisis: to further expand and electrify public transportation more than $208 billion is needed every year by the next decade just in C40 cities”.

This video is one of the Countdown TED talks about public transport which are part of the C40 Cities' and ITF's campaign #TheFutureIsPublicTransport. More info on http://www.thefutureispublictransport....
