Women Who Move Nations - The Public Transport Podcast

Transdev Melbourne's Managing Director, Loretta Lynch, is proud to join the team delivering around 30 percent of Melbourne's bus network, with 1400 staff, 500 buses and 25 million passenger journeys a year. The jewel in their crown is Melbourne's first locally-built, fully electric bus, Loretta shares with host Michelle Batsas, the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Transport Association Australia New Zealand (PTAANZ). Loretta first got hooked on working in public transport when she delivered Stage 2 of the Gold Coast light rail upgrade, allowing three times the usual services to be run for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Career-wise, she highlights how her unique approach to networking, seeking out people she can help, rather than the other way around, has made the task enjoyable and led her to many professional opportunities.
