Rob Roemers is an influential figure within the Brussels public transport operator, MVBE. Despite the organization’s humble beginnings of horse-driven trams, it has evolved to become a modern provider of bus, tram, and metro services. Roemers played a role in significant operations such as scheduling and resource planning, although he doesn’t lay claim to introducing data analytics to the company. Core to the organization and Roemers’ work ethic is an engineering-driven perspective, which is reflected in their expansive transport system, including their metro construction efforts.
