Public Transport in the Era of ITS: ITS Technologies for Public Transport

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts on Transportation and Traffic ((STTT))

Abstract

Mobility started to grow continuously from mid-nineteenth century thanks mainly to the development of rail transport services, and this trend increased even more rapidly with the growing fleet of cars and buses. The potential of those mechanised transport means made us more mobile. Getting around from place to place is essential to human engagement and endeavour.
