We've got a pretty good idea about what the post-pandemic recovery for public transport looks like in Britain, but what about the rest of the world?  Leon Daniels OBE travels to the MENA Transport Congress and Exhibition (MTCE) at the Dubai World Trade Centre to catch up with transport leaders from around the world. He discovers that the answer varies between a 25-100% recovery, on different continents for a variety of reasons, his various guests explain.  Talking to operators and suppliers, he also explores how public transport can fill the gap between what the public wants to pay (generally very little) and what the transport costs to provide.

This week’s episode of The Time Out Dubai Podcast is brought to you by Dubai Opera, the home of performing arts in the UAE. What’s your favourite Michael Jackson song? Given it’s the season for grisly ghouls from every tomb, it’s only appropriate that the coming of West End smash hit musical Thriller to Dubai Opera early next year has been announced. Tim Skinner, Head of Video Content, Darragh Murphy, Branded Content Editor, and Scott Campbell, Digital Editor, chat about Thriller’s arrival and other goings-on at Dubai Opera, as well as a whole bunch more on this week’s episode. They chat about comedy icon Dave Chappelle’s upcoming Dubai World Trade Centre gig, the Time Out Dubai Big Fat Haunted Halloween Quiz (where you can win Dhs3,000 cash, btw) plus what to do in the great outdoors now that it’s not eye-meltingly hot anymore. The gang also decide what’s hot and what’s not in Dubai right now…

GITEX is one of the world's largest technology shows with tens of thousands of attendees flocking to the Dubai World Trade Centre to examine all the latest technologies from the world's biggest companies. Avaya are one of the most recognisable brands at the event with their stand showcasing their most cutting edge unified communication and contact centre solutions. In this episode we catch up with them, during the show, to discuss their attendance along with one of their partners Formation Tech. Formation specialise in cloud solutions so it was interesting to get both a vendor's and partner's perspective on the event.

Finally, after a long summer, things appear to be kicking back in to gear. Dubai is set to host two of its best-known events this week, with the return of Cityscape Global and GITEX Shopper. The latter is expected to see crowds flock to the Dubai World Trade Centre in search of a bargain on gadgets and larger electronics, such as televisions and laptops. Cityscape, meanwhile, will bring together the country’s property developers, real estate agents, and government officials, in honour of one of Dubai’s most important industries. The likes of Damac and RAK Properties are expected to unveil large projects, with participants such as Nakheel, Emaar, and Azizi also likely to play a big role in the event, often seen as a barometer of the property market’s health. Globally, Brazil is set to go to the polls this week in a general election that will decide a new president and vice president, while back in the UK, the Conservative party will meet for its annual conference, with a number of major Brexit announcements anticipated.

With the news flicking between nuclear annihilation and the National Football League (NFL) and National Basketball Association (NBA) controversies, we try to unpackage the important stuff happening this week: Gitex Shopper. Whilst it is admittedly a quiet week on the home front, this past weekend brought a number of important developments to two of the world’s biggest technology companies: Apple and Uber. Planet Earth’s most valuable company Apple has seen its share price dip by around 8 per cent since the launch of the iPhone 8 last week, and we look at the various factors that might have contributed to the slump. We also ask whether Apple is in a crisis, or if last week was simply just a bump in the road. Next on the agenda is Uber, which lost its license to operate in London on the weekend. The team discusses the reasons behind the ban, and what Uber might be able to do to appeal London’s decision, and possibly regain its license. Finally, we take a look at Gitex Shopper, taking place this week at Dubai World Trade Centre, and Ed, Sarah and Scott discuss their potential purchases.
