Topics Discussed at MENA Transport Congress and Exhibition
The themes of the exhibition and topics discussed by the speakers are related to the field of transport. Here’s an overview of what was discussed at UITP MENA 2022.
Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS)
MaaS combines various modes of transportation into a single mobility service that is available on demand. It refers to moving away from privately owned transport to mobility offered as a service.
Clean Bus
This topic focused on promoting the use of eco-friendly buses for daily commutes.
Mobility and Sustainability in the Post-pandemic World
This topic focused on formulating policies to ensure that MENA’s transport sector doesn’t falter from the damage coronavirus pandemic has inflicted on the transport sector.
First Mile and Last Mile
Although public transport services like buses and metros often cover majority of the trip, we often have to walk or take a small ride to reach the exact destination. To avoid this hassle, transportation sectors implement the first mile and last mile principle of transportation to make commuting more convenient.
Smart Mobility Management
This topic focused on improving the accessibility and affordability of public transportation.
Technology Enablers
This topic focused on recognizing the efforts of those who have been at the forefront of technological innovations in the transportation sector and emphasizing on the importance of adopting the latest modes of technology.
