The Socio-Economic Backbone of Public Transport: People, Technology and Market

Session Recordings & Presentations

The track on The Socio-Economic backbone of Public Transport: People, Technology and Market explored three areas shaping Europe’s transport sector. It looked at the urban bus and coach market, covering types, powertrains, manufacturers, and buyers. Financial topics include tendering, funding, and service financing. The human side addressed driver training, shortages, and passenger rights.

Co-organized by EY, Arthur D. Little, and EMTA, the program combined market insight with practical challenges.
