Celebrating World Transport Day

Urban passenger transport moves billions of people every day without relying on private cars. Buses, metros, trams, and rail systems form the backbone of city life, enabling access to jobs, education, and services at a massive scale. In the busiest corridors, public transport can carry tens of thousands of passengers per hour which is far beyond what roads alone can handle.

Today, these systems are evolving through electrification, digitalization, and better integration across modes. The focus is shifting from simply moving people efficiently to doing so sustainably and inclusively. As cities grow denser, urban transport is becoming one of the most powerful tools to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and shape how people experience everyday life.
