Digitalisation & UITP

People know that digitalisation means smarter, safer, and more reliable services. From AI to the Internet of Things (IoT), chatbots, and predictive modelling, advancing technology advances mobility.

Ultimately, people want four things from public transport: safety, easy planning, simple payment, and quality information. And technology helps us better meet those needs and become more efficient.

Public transport has been around a long time. We know that well; UITP has represented the sector since 1885. But technology keeps changing. And now it’s moving faster than ever. To keep up, it’s important that we learn from each other – and that’s where the shared platform of UITP comes in.
