Moving a whole city: what event transport really takes

People assume event transport is “buses and drivers.” The buses are the easy part. The hard part is everything that has to line up around them.

It starts at the airport

Arrivals and departures set the tempo for the whole event. Get the airport operation wrong and you’re fighting a backlog for days.

Then it’s about the seams

• Fleet & dispatch — the right vehicle, driver and route, live
• Venue access, VAPP & parking — who gets in, where they park
• VVIP & motorcades — protocol, security and timing as one plan
• Traffic management — closures, priority routes, city liaison

Each of these is normally a different tool, a different team and a different spreadsheet. The magic — and the risk — is in keeping them in sync.

“The buses are the easy part. The seams are where events are won or lost.”

That’s exactly what Flettu’s Transport module is built to hold together. More field notes soon.
