Public transport company

(dpa) After the upheaval caused by electric mobility, the industry faces the next technological shift. Saxony sees opportunities for industry, research and public transport.

In the historic Stadthalle, around 210 professionals from politics, transport companies, security authorities, and civil society recently gathered for the ÖPNV Security Congress NRW 2025. Under the motto “360°: Safety in view – subjective perception, objective responsibility,” they discussed how safety in public transport (ÖPNV) can be strengthened – also with a view to passengers' trust.

Germany’s three largest public transport operators want to work together more closely in the future. Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), Hamburger Hochbahn (HOCHBAHN) and Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that sets out a strategic partnership for the public transport of the future. The aim is to leverage synergies, develop standards and offer smart mobility services to millions of passengers.
