Testimony from the Companies

"If we want the best collective mobility for all passengers, with the highest societal value and the lowest carbon footprint - we need to focus both on inclusivity and sustainability within the metro system. It is vital for promoting social equity, enhancing user experience, and driving innovation within public transportation. By doing this we can ensure adaptability to diverse user needs and resilience against urban challenges. We invite students to engage in this challenge, to give fresh perspectives and come up with creative ideas. We see a huge potential in students with different backgrounds and educational disciplines giving fresh perspectives that can lead to innovative solutions that ensure the continues development of the metro".
