The Future of Mobility is in Hamburg

How do we create a sustainable and efficient public transport service? Let’s learn from Hamburg.

Between now and 2030, almost half of Hamburg’s required CO2 savings will come from the transport sector alone. This calls for no less than a mobility revolution. In this report, explore how Hamburg aims to make that happen.

The scale of Hamburg’s transformation is impressive. Hamburg’s 28 operators serve over 1 billion journeys each year on a network of 10,000 stations. Investment is also at an all-time high, as the city electrifies its bus fleet, builds new automated metros, deploys fully automated on-demand services, and much, much more.

All this makes Hamburg the ideal host for the public transport sector’s most important event! The first yearly UITP Summit will take place in Hamburg on the 15-18 June 2025. The city is in the middle of over a dozen state-of-the-art projects, which will give guests from all over the world a genuine behind the scenes look at what it really takes to transform a city’s public transport network into a modern, sustainable, and efficient service.
