YouRail: Bombardier Invites Passengers to Design the Interior of Future Trains

Bombardier Transportation has launched a worldwide web-based contest for the creation of innovative interior designs for trains.

"YouRail - Visions of Modern Transportation" calls on consumers to unleash their creativity and express their vision of future train interiors.

"While input from rail operators, our direct customers, is still crucial, this contest enables us to engage passengers directly to better understand their needs and propose innovative solutions," said Martin Ertl, Chief Innovation Officer Bombardier Transportation.

Participants in the competition are invited to submit their proposals for different categories over the internet.

Bombardier executives and external experts will select the winning design and award prizes worth 10.000 euros for the best entries.

The successful designs will be presented by Bombardier in September 2010 at the world's most important rail technology trade show, InnoTrans, in Berlin.
