Neville Dipale is a technologist, and serial creator of various transport related technology solutions that involve the public from two angles. Moving Gauteng is the key platform for multimodal public transport information in the Gauteng Metropolitan Region. It is fed by a participatory data collection scheme which passengers practically inform one another geosnatially through a crowdsourcing mechanism that is a downloadable and affordable mobile application. In the second instalment of the Just Transport Podcast, we talk with Neville and he takes us through some of his logic in connecting the dots. The episode starts with Professor Eric Miller’s discussion points about and around the use of technology in transport data collection.

Even though the Competition Commission makes it quite clear that urgent reforms are necessary. Either-way, the hidden formalities are present and persistent. Technology, information systems and demographic changes are expounding the performance of these hidden formalities. Regulators should be observant of future needs, because the transport mode you grew up using might not be nearly similar to the ones that come next. As ideas change, they interact and learn, if not form from material life. It seems like the next digital revolution wave is coming closer, how will transitions to this future-present be just? […]
