Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (BSM) will be taking part in the Global Public Transport Summit organised by the International Public Transport Association (UITP) at Fira Gran Via from 4 to 7 June. This is the biggest world summit on mobility, with some 15,000 international visitors expected to take part, to discover the latest trends in sustainable urban transport.
BSM will be one of the 380 exhibitors participating in the fair being held in parallel to the summit from 5 to 7 June. Adopting the slogan, “Creating your future mobility”, BSM has designed a 100 m2 space for visitors to discover how the company promotes solutions for advancing towards an increasingly planned, shared, connected and sustainable mobility in Barcelona. The Bicing bike-sharing service, the Endolla Barcelona public electric-mobility network, the Aparcaments BSM Network and the SMOU and SPRO mobility apps will be the star attractions.
The stand will also be playing host to several presentations and talks on some of the future challenges facing BSM. The first activity, on Monday, 5 June, looks at the work being carried out to manage the flow of tourist coaches through digitalisation and the use of data.
The following day, Tuesday, 6 June, will focus on Bicing, which has become one of the city’s safest, most sustainable and healthiest forms of individual transport in the city. BSM will take advantage of this important summit to take stock of how the last 15 years have seen this service become an element for transforming city residents’ mobility habits and the morphology of the city itself.
The SMOU mobility app rounds off activity at the stand on Wednesday, 7 June. This explanation will set out how SMOU has been working to meet new personal-mobility needs and what future strategy it is pursuing, through innovation and public-private collaboration, to become a global mobility tool in Barcelona and its metropolitan area.
