Cities and governments now have an unmissable opportunity to lay new foundations for the next phase of economic development and wealth creation. For urban mobility this implies to prioritise public transport rather than to keep on building new highways and supporting car industry, which would only aggravate the problems faced today by our cities.

The public transport sector has the competence and ambition to improve the urban environment for citizens and business, as it does already in number of urban centres. To take up these challenges, the International Association of Public Transport aims at doubling the market share of public transport worldwide by 2025.
