The Future of Urban Mobility Is Taking Shape
Urban mobility is the heartbeat of modern cities—shaping how we connect with work, education, healthcare, and each other. As cities grow, the need for efficient, safe, and sustainable transport systems is more urgent than ever.
By 2050, global demand for passenger travel is set to rise up to fourfold compared to the year 2000. The message is clear: we need to accelerate the shift toward inclusive, integrated, and climate-resilient transport systems that can support the continuous growth of our cities.
Benchmarking Progress Toward Future-Ready Cities
The recently published 2024 Urban Mobility Readiness Index shines a spotlight on 70 cities worldwide, assessing how prepared they are to deliver innovative, accessible, and sustainable urban mobility. From digital infrastructure to environmental performance, the index paints a comprehensive picture of how cities are embracing the future of transport.
We’re proud to see many familiar names among the top performers. In six of the leading cities—and in 25% of all cities ranked—we’ve worked alongside transit operators and rolling stock manufacturers to deliver solutions that make public transport safer, smarter, and easier to navigate.
From Helsinki to Vancouver, Montreal to London, and Stockholm to Copenhagen, these cities are setting new standards for smart mobility—and we’re honored to have contributed to their journey.
Shaping the Next Generation of Public Transport
As cities evolve, so must their mobility systems. Meeting growing expectations means embracing efficient and future-proof solutions—powered by technology that makes every journey count. At the core of future-ready transport lies intelligent infrastructure, and we’re proud to be leading that charge with solutions that enhance passenger experience and increase public transport ridership:
- Real-Time Passenger Information Across Entire Transit Ecosystem
- Fleet Modernization and Upgrades—For extended lifetime
- Preventive Maintenance and Remote Diagnostics of PIS Systems
- Inclusive Passenger Experience including text-to-speech and public address solutions
- Solutions to ensure Safe, Seamless Journeys—From Door to Door
Moving Cities Forward—Together
Cities at the forefront of the mobility revolution are expanding their transit networks, embracing digitalization, and embedding accessibility into every layer of public infrastructure. This transformation is driven forward by frameworks like the EU’s Urban Mobility Framework, which guides cities in building transport systems that are safe, accessible, inclusive, affordable, smart, resilient, and emission-free.
At the heart of this transformation is collaboration. We’re proud to partner with cities, transit authorities, operators and manufacturers to co-create public transport solutions that are ready for what’s next. As the world moves forward, we’re here to ensure mobility moves with it—safe, connected, and available for all.
