Integrating Shared Mobility and Transit to Enhance Our Cities
Location: Room - Emerald II
Emerging technology is affecting our mobility landscape. Two emerging concepts, “Public Mobility” and “Bus Rapid Transit”, are changing policy and design in our cities. Using technology to upgrade transit and to integrate shared mobility will help to improve the effectiveness of public transport, not only regarding accessibility, but maybe even more regrading efficient land use in cities, equity and sustainability. We focus on multiple aspects, such as governance, data and design in this session, from both research and practice perspective. The audience will be involved via interactive workshop methods and an interactive panel discussion with experts from Netherlands and Belgium.
