Three reasons to move more people with metros
Growing urbanization
- 70% of the global population will live in cities by 2050 (today: 55%)1)
- The need to connect growing satellite towns and suburbs
- Dramatic traffic congestion with huge economic and ecological costs
- The need for new intermodal traffic solutions, including transporting bikes and scooters on metros
Climate change and environmental protection
- Today traffic contributes over 23% of our global CO2 emissions1)
- Climate change is forcing decision-makers to advance their technologies and reduce their footprint
- Increased emission and pollution levels are forcing legislative bodies to reduce the environmental impact of human activities
Seamless intermodal transportation
- Provides integrated and intermodal passenger experiences – “search, book, pay, drive”
- One of the primary strategies for increasing the capacity, attractiveness, and efficiency of public transport
- Metros as the strong mass-transit backbone
- The key to covering the entire passenger journey
