Navigating Europe can be a breeze when you choose to travel by private car or air. However, we often find that using rail, bus, or sea options can be quite challenging, with fragmented services that are typically limited to national borders. To truly achieve the aspirations of the EU Green Deal, it is vital to embrace seamless multimodal mobility that crosses these boundaries. In this interactive and engaging session, we will delve into two inspiring cross-border projects aimed at revolutionizing travel across Europe. What does it take to harness open mobility data for effortless, sustainable, and borderless journeys? Imagine a user-friendly service that consolidates planning, booking, payment, and navigation—all in one place! We’ll focus on two exciting projects: 1. DACH: Creating multimodal cross-border journeys connecting Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. 2. NEMU: Offering a comprehensive planning, booking, and payment solution for travel among Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Join us for a lively panel discussion featuring representatives from ITS national organizations across Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland, who will share their insights, societal goals, and plans for the future. Let’s work together towards a more interconnected Europe!
