Breakout session: How digitalization changes the way we move in the smarter city
Public transport is something that we all have an opinion about – whether we travel by it or not. But we all can agree that it can transform cities – making them more sustainable and easier to get around in with less congestions. The trick is to increase its ridership. But how? Digitalization, connected solutions (IoT) and data insights are remedy’s to a lot of the pains that the public transport authorities and operators have. But it must always start with a people driven mindset to be able to succeed. It starts with the passengers and their needs.
