Public Transport
Connecting the world of public transport

Welcome

Foreword

Public transport is being challenged everyday to become a key player in providing ever-more flexible and varied mobility services. Combined Mobility is the answer: services such as car-sharing, taxis and shared taxis, bicycles and bike-sharing, car-pooling are complementing the classic fixed line - and timetable-bound - public transport services and, together with walking, form a complete and coherent mobility solution.

UITP

The International Association of Public Transport (UITP) is the international network for public transport authorities and operators, policy decision-makers, scientific institutes and the public transport supply and service industry. It is a platform for worldwide cooperation, business development and the sharing of know-how between its 3,400 members from 92 countries. UITP is the global advocate of public transport and sustainable mobility, and the promoter of innovations in the sector. Visit our website www.uitp.org

PTx2 strategy

In June 2009 UITP set out an ambitious aim for the sector, namely to double the market share of public transport worldwide by 2025. This ambition goes by the name of 'PTx2'. Whilst this aim is undoubtedly bold, it is not unrealistic: many cities have already taken up the challenge and are working towards this goal, in line with their specific political, geographical and historical contexts.
