About this listen

The Mobility Club is an academic- and practice-oriented podcast that explores international issues in transport and mobility research from a European perspective. It was started by four PhD students and tries to communicate current topics, empirical findings, and policy challenges in the field. In every episode, the two Hosts, Isabella and Santiago, discuss mobility-related topics with a mobility expert, gaining their perspective on various issues.

  • How to make long-distance travel in Europe better?

    How to make long-distance travel in Europe better?
    Feb 4 2026

    Why is it still so complicated to book a train ticket from Munich to Lisbon? Should short-haul flights in Europe be banned? And can night trains really become a viable alternative?

    In this episode, we talk about the challenges of long-distance travel in Europe with Oded Cats, full professor at the Delft University of Technology. He recently received an ERC Consolidator Grant to study how long-distance passenger transport systems can be better designed, coordinated, and scaled across borders.

    We discuss why international rail travel is still so fragmented, what role policy and infrastructure play, and why banning short-haul flights might not be as effective as we might think.
