Hi Manuel, as cities and metropolitan areas keep growing, public transportation will take a more important role in the future of mobility. Federal and muncipial governments also try to push for promoting publich transport due to infrastructure constraints and environmental concerns.

Hi Konstantin! But do you think that customers will follow? Individual transportation is not that easy to give up once you get started to using it.

It really depends on the offer. If public transportation comes for free, we will definitely see a
vast increase in demand. For further Information, I recommend you to check out our study on the future of public transport: https://www.rolandberger.com/en/Publications/Public-transit-can-operate-more-profitably-with-new-technology.html
