Track to the future – Rail transport and its role in tomorrow’s world
Convenient trams or noisy goods trains, a model for the future or a financial black hole – public opinions of rail travel are often mixed. But how could tomorrow’s mobility look in reality? Are trains really viable for the future? What challenges do manufacturers and operators face?
Some topics of the current edition:
Setting the course

Always on the go

A metro for the tropics

Smarter travel
Simply hop on and hop off – wouldn’t that be convenient? A universal eTicketing platform makes it happen.
Automatically more intelligent
More rail transport requires more railway lines – or simply more intelligent technology.
Metallostroy
