Hyper-urbanisation, climate change, and demographic and societal changes are some of the trends that have put pressure on transport networks and set obstacles to door-to-door mobility. Technological breakthroughs can tackle many of the problems, and produce novel mobility services that could contribute to seamless mobility.

A general shift towards sustainable modes of travel is taking place. Children are using more sustainable modes to go to school and workers are using cars less. Developing and implementing a travel plan can reduce the need for people to travel to and from a location and encourage others to travel more sustainably.

Today, there is no escaping the widespread adoption of social media.

A high-quality, modern, energy-efficient public transport system that integrates well with other modes is key to reducing car traffic and creating an appealing urban environment. Convenient, efficient and clean collective passenger transport is an essential part of an urban sustainable transport system. To maintain or increase the modal share of collective passenger transport, services need to be more attractive to use, safe, and punctual.
