Transport Economics and Finance & UITP
Fare policy, smart investments, and innovative sources of revenue – this is the economics that moves public transport to move people.
When we employ solid financial strategies, we improve efficiency and reduce costs, ultimately boosting the value for money and freeing up funds to invest elsewhere. And when public transport does better, so do cities and citizens. In turn, that fuels public transport. It’s a win-win situation!
UITP brings together its global members to identify successful and innovative financial solutions for our sector. Because public transport is always a sound investment – especially when our finances are more efficient, more sustainable, and more resilient.
