Theme
The offer in terms of public urban road transport has been dramatically changed by the arrival of new generation
tramways and trolleybuses that propose a new experience in urban travel and a new relation with the town.
In parallel, there is a great deal of network restructuring, leading to the appearance of major bus lines that are
differentiated from local service lines. In this context, the bus vehicles as such (and particularly their design) are
still not making a sufficient contribution to this transformation. This is why now is the time to ask the following
questions:
- what is the innovation potential of the bus in its role
as a flexible and universal public transport provider ?
- what will the ideal bus for European towns of tomorrow look like ?
- what will be the quality of life, what services will there be
and what kind of travel will be possible on board
this new generation of urban transport vehicles ?
