Innovative Public Transport in Europe, Asia and Latin America: A Survey of Recent Implementations

This paper presents some recent innovative solutions implemented in urban public transport in Europe, Asia and Latin America, as analysed and benchmarked in the context of Viajeo PLUS project, co-funded by the EC under the FP7. Viajeo PLUS is committed to identify promising good practices implemented in Europe, Latin America, China, and Singapore. This paper focus on the results gained from the sharing of good practices through case studies, showcases, and capacity building, fostering collaboration between the regions mentioned above and Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC). The reported solutions deal with very different public transport related technologies or concepts, such as intelligent ticketing systems, inter-modality, mobility demand management, financing schemes, as well as cover almost all the public transport modes available in urban settings.
