Bio:
Reece Martin is the creator and host of RMTransit, a YouTube channel focused on transit, infrastructure, and development around the world. Started back in 2016, the RMTransit YouTube channel has gone from occasional videos shot on a blurry cell phone camera watched by not more than a dozen people to its current state. With more than 180 thousand subscribers and 27 million views, the channel has helped thousands around the world to learn about public transit projects, networks, technologies and plans in a simplified and digestible format, as well as about project construction, news, vehicle design, and service planning. The channel has hundreds of videos covering a breadth of transit and urban content, and has covered over 50 cities across over 20 countries, including international on-site visits such as the opening of the Elizabeth Line.
