Quote from Siemens Australia CEO Peter Halliday:“From the outset this is a pilot of new technology which is trying to rapidly prepare for what is probably the most significant transition in our history. Possibly the most important part of a pilot is to see how the different players collaborate and work together when the chips are down. Pleasingly, our local and global teams have worked closely and collaboratively on this project with Kastoria Bus Lines (Seymour Passenger Services) and will continue to do so. Andrew Chan has been a positive driving force throughout the process. The lessons learnt have been an invaluable part of the process and I’m confident that this team approach will pay dividends for Victoria in the long run.”
