    “Public transport is no longer at a turning point.” The UITP Public Transport Trends Report 2019 opens with this proclamation.

    Detailing the most significant developments and latest trends these past two years is the subject of our long-awaited 2019 edition.

    In the most recent edition of the Public Transport Trends Report published in 2017, UITP and our international members presented the many disruptions that were, and still are, impacting our sector: public transport was at a crossroads. In 2019, we’re no longer at a turning point.

    What can you learn from the 2019 Public Transport Trends Report?

    Great progress has been made, outstanding leadership has been shown and new urban mobility solutions are now a recognised part of the mobility landscape, finding a role alongside the more traditional players.

    New innovations, new challenges, new boundaries have been set – the public transport sector is adapting to meet the needs of city living as by 2030 60 percent of the world’s population will lead urban lives.

    “It takes a great deal of insight, hard work and dedication to consider the developments of the past two years in our sector. The UITP Public Transport Trends Report is known as a document of great knowledge and observation and the 2019 edition provides an in-depth analysis of what stage the sector has reached. UITP will continue to dedicate itself, alongside our global members, to making sure the challenges that remain, and the opportunties that exist, are met with forward thinking and a great deal of enthusiasm." Sylvain Haon senior director of strategy UITP Who’s talking…and about what?

    At almost 160 pages, the PT Trends Report details many key topics by gathering expert insight on the current landscape of our sector.

    While mass public transport will remain the backbone around which sustainable mobility solutions will thrive, the multiplicity of complementary solutions is making the passenger transport market more complex.

    The 2019 edition contains detailed discussions, led by our members, on topics such as Customer Service Excellence, Talent and Skills, Revisiting Governance and Cost Structure and New Revenues.

    Introduced by our Secretary General Mohamed Mezghani, and concluded by UITP President Pere Calvet, contributors to the PT Trends Report will join the sector at the next UITP Global Public Transport Summit.
