The digital transformation of public transport continues to accelerate across Europe, with transport authorities increasingly adopting integrated ticketing platforms to improve accessibility, efficiency and passenger convenience. The recent renewal of Kuba's partnership with the Touraine Mobility Authority marks another step in the modernisation of the Fil Bleu transport network, which serves the Tours metropolitan region in France. The initiative forms part of a broader stra

Every second, public transport networks generate vast amounts of operational data. The challenge is not collecting it, but turning it into meaningful insight. In its latest article, Mosaiq reveals that its transit intelligence platform now processes more than 10 billion vehicle “heartbeats” every month across 31 countries, providing operators and transport authorities with unprecedented visibility into network performance. The milestone highlights the growing importance of da

Great Western Railway has introduced new smart gatelines at Exeter Central, delivered by Vix Technology, as part of a broader effort to modernise passenger access and improve station flow.
