00:41:54Beginning of the panel discussion

01:07:11Is the word tramtrain a well-known term in Bohemia? Do we have any similar projects in the Czech Republic?

01:08:30How is a tram different from a regular tram or train? What does the layman understand by it? What is the fundamental difference?

01:11:43How is the track superstructure of a tramway different from the track superstructure of a tram? What is the difference from a technical point of view?

01:13:32What is the potential of the tramway project in other European countries?

01:16:16Is charging for car traffic in city centres a necessity for the future?

01:17:43How do residents of Cambridge or other cities feel about charging for car transport?

01:19:02Are you aware of Milton Keynes solving any particular transport problem or is Milton Keynes just becoming a kind of urban laboratory for the UK? In the title of the presentation there was a term in the new city, can you explain what that means in the case of Milton Keynes?

01:21:01To what extent is the economic development of a locality linked to its functional transport system?

01:22:55Martin Kupka, Minister of Transport of the Czech Republic

01:32:14Is it still worth building larger rail systems today, along the lines of the Berlin S-Bahn? Aren't most of the advantages on the side of lighter rail transport?

01:35:50How are investments in Greater Cambridge financed?

01:40:35In the context of British cities' approach to transport organisation, does Prague face spatial limits?

01:48:58The Czech Republic is preparing 600 km of high-speed lines, can you tell us something about that Brian? About the experience from England and possible recommendations for Czech cities how to use the high-speed line?

01:57:02Jo, what's the recommendation for cities that want to start using modern technology in transportation? Where to start? Develop a comprehensive analysis of the transport system or put together really good data and look at the bigger picture or start taking the first real steps? What approach would you recommend?

01:58:49What recommendations do you have for large central cities that are dealing with a car traffic problem? What has worked best for you in Cambridge from the beginning?

02:01:28Concluding remarks
