This complimentary training programme is delivered as part of the eBRT2030 project, a pioneering initiative advancing the future of sustainable urban mobility.
eBRT2030 is driving the development of the next generation of electric Bus Rapid Transit (eBRT) systems through innovative, economically viable solutions enriched with state-of-the-art automation and connectivity.
Designed to demonstrate the real-world applicability of advanced eBRT systems across diverse urban environments, the project represents a significant milestone in electric mobility, and this training offers valuable insights for professionals looking to design, upgrade, or implement new BRT systems.
By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas, amounting to 6.8 billion people. As a consequence, urban passenger transport is projected to grow by 60-70% by 2050, which means a growth in traffic. Africa and Asia will see the largest increase in urban populations.
By 2030, Africa will have 41 megacities, and the continent is projected to double its population by 2050, reaching 2.5 billion. One out of two Africans will live in a city.
Most of the growth in the African urban population will occur in small cities. Rapid urbanisation will be a big matter for cities. One of the big challenges is providing mobility to those living in emerging cities. Quick response and action are key to cover daily mobility needs and, of course, to fight congestion.
In many cities, the Bus Rapid Transit System, BRT, is offered as an easy and quick solution for moving passengers. In this training, decision criteria behind the scenes and how to implement and operate the BRT system successfully will be learned.
