Intelligent Public Transport Systems

European Road Show 2007/2008

Location: Nice - France

Organisation: IPTS

IPTS stands for Intelligent Public Transport Systems. It embraces all electronic systems and associated technologies that make travelling by public transport safer, more efficient and more comfortable for passengers and public transport operators alike.

IPTS in Europe

Some 12,000 public transport operators serve more than 100 million passengers in the countries of the European Union on a daily basis. As well as being a major social and economic activity, public transport is also of strategic and political interest to governments at all levels. It must in principle be able to compete with private mobility options, such as cars, motor bikes, bikes and even walking. A prerequisite is that public transport must retain or even increase its market share in the transportation of people by making the ’product’ more attractive, reliable, safe and efficient. The IPTS Europe road show is a major contributor to this aim.
