Building better public transport systems, public transport principles

Public transport is a vital part of cities, connecting people to jobs, education, healthcare, and other opportunities. In most cities around the world, public transport both formal and informal accounts for the majority of motorized trips, from 40% to 70%. In well-planned cities, public transport supported by walking and cycling enables vibrant, compact, and connected urban areas, making them more livable and efficient for all.

Despite its benefits, public transport has faced increasing challenges in recent years. Addressing these challenges requires increased funding, strategic partnerships and global knowledge-sharing to ensure that both well-established and fast-growing cities can build resilient, adaptable, and high-quality public transport. This is alignment is crucial as ITDP works towards massively increasing public transport ridership in all key regions.
