TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 2 A word from the organisers

"All the indicators are pointing the same way: public transport is set to grow significantly in the coming years. Concerns relating to the environment, energy supplies and climate change all mean that the shape of mobility in the future has become a crucial issue. Given the challenge of sustainable development, promoting economic, clean mobility which is geared to the needs of our society has become both necessary and urgent, requiring new policies, new behaviours and new resources. Public transport provides the best alternative in environmental, economic and social terms.

These issues form the central focus of Transports Publics 2008, the European Mobility Exhibition, which will be bringing together players from right across the business, along with innovative equipment and solutions favouring passenger travel which is both sustainable and increasingly attractive.

This is a dynamic sector, operating in the public interest and working for better quality of life for future generations. We have both the will and the capability to meet expectations in terms of comfort, punctuality, frequency, accessibility, passenger information and more besides. Showcasing European innovation in public transport and drawing increasing numbers of qualified and decision-making visitors, the Transports Publics exhibition has a clear aim: providing proper recognition for industry professionals such as manufacturers, subcontractors, equipment suppliers, operators, organising authorities and financers in their role as the key players in the transport solutions of the future: public transport which plays a vital part in the health of society, for all aspects of daily life and in all kinds of geographical location."

TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 3 Public transport: key debates

EUROPEAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT EXPORTS

The constant increase in mobility, coupled with the Tuesday 10 June deployment of transport systems that encourage 2.30-3.30pm sustainable development, has created an ideal Roundtable: "European public climate for operators. With the expansion of the transport exports" EU, the latter are likely to expand still further in See programme, p.14 the future, with mergers at a national level and the formation of cross-European alliances ready to take on markets worldwide. The progressive deregulation of the international European market has seen increasing competition between operators, who also view this as a significant opportunity for growth. According to an internal survey carried out by one operator, 15% of the world public transport market is currently open to competition, and this figure is set to double by 2016. For instance, British operators are entering markets in North America and Australia as well as in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Portugal and Italy. French operators, meanwhile, are today present throughout as well as in Australia, the United States, the Middle East, Asia, India, Canada and North Africa. Operators from other European countries are also entering the field.

Key world market figures

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY : PRIORITIES FOR 'S FORTHCOMING EU PRESIDENCY IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT

The French are aware of today's environmental Wednesday 11 June issues and ready to accept the expansion of modes 4pm - 5pm of transport providing alternative or Roundtable: "Sustainable complementary options to road transport as a mobility: priorities for France's means of preserving both efficient travel and the forthcoming EU presidency in terms of sustainable transport" environment. See programme, p.14 Adjusting economic and social imperatives to the principles of sustainable development is therefore one of France' objectives during its presidency of the European Union from July 1 to December 31, 2008.

TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 4 Following on from the Grenelle environmental summit, the concept of sustainable mobility is likely to play a key role in French transport policy during the six-month period. Following discussions with the Chairman of the European Parliament's Transport Committee and coordinators from the main political parties last February, Dominique Bussereau, the French Secretary of State for Transport, has already set out four priorities: climate change and sustainable development; safety; removal of intra-European barriers; and the applications of new technology to transport.

This will involve promoting the most energy-efficient means of transport and the development of key European corridors as alternatives to road transport for both passengers and goods. Other major projects to be developed include the work to establish a high-speed rail line between Berlin and Palermo, the -Turin-Budapest rail link and the Sea Motorways concept (with trucks transported on ships). As part of its green transport programme, the Committee is also due to present a review of the "Eurovignette" Directive in June, incorporating payment of a "green tax" on heavy goods vehicles at motorway toll booths in 2009-2010.

CAN THE COMMITMENT TO MASSIVE CUTS IN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BE ACHIEVED ?

A number of European research bodies are Thursday 12 June studying probable changes in mobility in major 10.30am - 11.30am urban areas and putting forward realistic scenarios Roundtable: "Can the to the year 2050. commitment to massive cuts in PREDIT (French programme of research and greenhouse gas emissions by innovation in land-based transport) has established 2020 be achieved?" that a major transport crisis is possible in 2020- See programme, p.15 2030, due to a variety of causes ranging from the rise in oil prices, the greenhouse effect, social exclusion of underprivileged peri- urban groups, the economic climate and issues of public transport funding. By 2030- 2050, the increase in mobility currently being experienced in Europe is likely to be ongoing, although less rapid. While road transport will still be predominant, it is likely to have dropped beneath its current level of 70% of all travel. Furthermore, the transport offer in major urban regions may well be inadequate for the inhabitants' increasing mobility requirements.

Technological forecasts predict that greenhouse gas emissions can be cut by a factor of 2.5. However, it looks as if individual mobility will continue to grow alongside GDP and income. There will be a considerable increase in long-distance journeys as well as in tourism-related activities. Being able to travel further in a given period of time raises the challenge of speed. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will not be possible without cutting back on our use of the most polluting forms of transport in terms of emissions - the worst offenders being aircraft - and broadening the offer of alternatives to motorised vehicles. This means it is urgent to implement other responses, such as more dynamic, concerted policies, regulatory and economic tools and pro-active measures which influence the workings of the market.

TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 5

Ever-cleaner public transport

The transport sector is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. The increase in road transport is particularly responsible for increasing pollution. Improvements in air quality therefore require the development of modes of transport which pollute less or even not at all - one of the key assets of public transport, which

produces half as much CO 2 as individual cars.

Trams, automated people movers and metros are some of the least-polluting modes of transport. 100%-electric are environmentally friendly, with no emission of toxic gases into the atmosphere. With a capacity of 200 passengers, one replaces some 140 cars. In several nations, increasing numbers of new buses are NGVs (Natural Gas Vehicles), and most buses are equipped with new engines which comply with the latest norms.

In terms of energy consumption, mass transit systems are much more efficient than individual transport, and the proportion of rolling stock whose fuel systems are not oil-based (metros, trams, trolley buses and urban buses) is continually increasing.

On average, trams use 10 times less energy than an individual car, metros use three times less and buses half as much. Many of these vehicles use clean energy solutions and some of them do not use oil- based fuel (water-diesel emulsion such as Aquazole® or Gecam®, VNG, LPG, electric and hybrid vehicles).

TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 6 Innovations for tomorrow’s transport

The world of public transport is one of continual change, and it is important for European transport professionals to be continually innovating, both to fulfil the wide range of passenger expectations and to develop environmentally-friendly solutions. The latest innovations will be on show at the third edition of the European Mobility Exhibition. Users will be a central focus of the event, which will be presenting different approaches to preserving the environment.

BUSES AND COACHES

NFC (Near Field Communication): a new way of using mobile phones

Mobile phones have become a universal accessory, meeting requirements in terms of interaction and mobility. This means that NFC (Near Field Communication) is in the process of becoming one of the foremost public transport innovations in the years ahead. NFC refers to contactless mobile technology: new- generation telephones capable of interacting with their environment and managing data exchange using a dedicated chip and antenna. When the mobile is placed near a reader, a specific action is triggered: accessing an information page on a public terminal, validating a ticket, paying for a purchase and so on.

The operational and technical aspects of the system have already been tested in , , , , Rennes and in Bretagne. However, will be the main forerunner in this field, since it is here that NFC technology will be marketed on the urban network for the first time in Europe. The B'Pass system is presently the fruit of a partnership between Orange and Veolia. Ultimately, the offer could be extended to other mobile operators: a working party bringing together Bouygues Telecom, Orange, SFR, Keolis, RATP, SNCF, Transdev and Veolia Transport is working on making the service accessible on all public transport, regardless of the operator. Mobiles will function like contactless e-ticketing cards, as well as enabling users to receive information about their journey, pay for purchases in selected stores, access local government services and, in the future, an ever-broadening range of functions.

NFC in South-East Asia

While NFC is only just emerging in the United States and Europe, it is already well- established in South-East Asia: in Japan, over 30% of those with mobile phones now use

the FeliCa service, provided since 2004 by NTT DoCoMo, which offers services from 28 suppliers (air and rail transport, financial services, department stores, food dispensing machines, etc).

TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 7 Improved accessibility

Regional transport organising authorities, operators and manufacturers have long sought to implement accessibility for the public transport which they are in charge of in terms of structure and funding, taking into account every type of disability and user. This proactive approach lies behind many technological developments which have led to advances in accessibility (systematic use of low-floor vehicles when renewing bus fleets, audio announcement of stops, braille information guides, detectable surfaces and tactile warning strips on platform edges, specialist transport- on-demand services, and so on).

Recent years have seen a growth in public transport services catering for the disabled. In several European countries, all buses now feature the low-floor design. The general European scientific report "accessibility of coaches and long-distance buses for reduced-mobility users", published in 2005 by experts from 15 countries, showed that most tourism and holiday transport and regular long-distance express services were still using high-floor coaches. However, many inter-urban services do use low-floor vehicles, while others are split-level, with a low-floor lower level.

Coach travel is popular with older people. Since the European population is ageing, coaches are likely to be increasingly used in the future, so innovation in terms of accessibility is emerging as an important issue for the public transport of tomorrow.

METROS AND TRAMS

The key word is design

Installations now play a defining role in quality of service for passengers, both in terms of physical comfort and visual appeal, with an emphasis on graphic design. These aesthetic concerns are increasingly to the forefront with regards to trams, which often serve as iconic symbols of a city. The importance of the design factor is evidenced by the fact that some cities in France (where trams are enjoying a comeback) issue calls for design tenders even before choosing a manufacturer, while in , the Citadis2020 commissioned from by the city has a really futuristic look: gel-filled seats, spot-lighting, and so on.

The Flexity Outlook tram will blend in with the existing rolling stock in Brussels, where it is currently being delivered, take on a "sun and sea" theme in Marseille, with large windows and Mediterranean-tone seats, and echo the lines of a champagne glass in Rheims. Meanwhile, Nantes has opted for the "landscaped" approach and aims to create a link between different neighbourhoods. This "French touch" has now extended as far as Tenerife, where a tram line operated by Transdev was opened in 2007, in blue, orange, yellow and green livery.

TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 8

REGIONAL , TRAM -TRAINS AND HIGH -SPEED TRAINS

Better installations on new regional trains

Although cars remain the main mode of transport in rural and periurban areas, regional mass transit passenger figures are rising. Significant innovations are emerging, such as the Real project, deployed in partnership with the Lyon region, in which passengers will be able to travel using a single ticket and benefit from regional trains which are co-ordinated with the city's transport network.

As transport becomes more regional, the demand for rail rolling stock has increased and industry has responded, requested by organising authorities, who fund them, by supplying more customised equipment to address the specific needs of particular passengers and routes. Ranges proposed by manufacturers have thus expanded considerably to include everything from inter-city services such as Z- TER by Alstom, with equivalent facilities to a TGV, to highly localised services. The TER 2 NNG derivative of the Coralia Duplex range has two-floor trainsets and excellent accessibility (wide exits). Furthermore, the TER 2NNG offers a range of services including user-friendly areas and high-quality installations (air conditioning and ergonomic seats) and also incorporates security concerns (video surveillance). Meanwhile, the X73500, designed for rural and some peri-urban and suburban routes, could be seen as the first regional rail vehicle to have incorporated considerations of both weight and comfort of installations, with better accessibility by means of lowered entrances, a chilled ventilation system and so on.

Passengers play a central role in product design, as can be seen from the success of Bombardier's AGC high-capacity , which takes account of each region's specific considerations (width and number of doors, acceleration, etc). With Citadis Dualis, the peri-urban version of Citadis, Alstom is aiming to cover 40% of regional traffic, with the emphasis on accessibility, passenger comfort and facilities (WiFi, passenger counting, "enhanced comfort" seating, etc).

The AGV makes its entrance

Alstom’s AGV (very high speed train) has been designed to meet the needs of the high-speed market, which is likely to undergo significant change in 2010 when it is opened up to private companies. The AGV is destined to be used on the -Mondoza line and the Italian operator NTV has already ordered 25 trainsets. Compared to its predecessor, the TGV, the AGV is both faster (with a maximum speed of 360km/h) and more economical (using between 10 and 15% less energy). Furthermore, placing power units beneath each carriage enables recovery of the space taken up by the power cars at each end of TGVs, with a resulting 20% extra capacity for the same length. The AGV is also modular, with trainsets of between seven and fourteen carriages and a capacity of 250 to 650 passengers. The manufacturer has also allowed for trainsets with custom-designed interiors geared to specific user needs.

ALTERNATIVE AND “SOFT ” MODE TRANSPORT

Self-service bike scheme

In the field of urban public transport, the development of alternative modes of transport is closely linked to the concept of bike-sharing, which has become increasingly popular of late, particularly in France.

Launched on July 17, 2007 Paris, the Vélib' system is the largest self-service bike rental system ever deployed worldwide. However, it is not the first: similar systems already existed in Denmark, Germany, Finland, Belgium and Spain. In France, prior to Paris, the cities of Rennes and Lyon had also adopted self-service bike systems, while Bordeaux has had 4000 bikes available on free rental since 2001; but it was the Vélo'v experiment, launched in May 2005 in Lyon, which really marked its rebirth in this country. Key factors in its success included the use of sturdy, highly-visible bikes, low rental charges and a large number of terminals (every 300m). It was on this basis that, two years later, 20 000 Vélib' bikes were introduced in Paris, deployed to 1450 stations. , Melbourne and Montréal are also planning to acquire self-service bike systems.

Car-sharing

Some 250 000 Europeans car-share. Adopted by over 600 towns and cities worldwide, car-sharing involves making cars available to members for short journeys. The service is available on a self-service basis 24 hours a day, seven days a week; bookings are made over the phone or Internet. The system enables better use of a smaller total number of cars and offers a complementary alternative to mass transit, taxis and traditional car hire.

On average, one shared car replaces eight private vehicles and users of the service cut their total car-based mileage by 80%: users are therefore taking up less space on the roads, reducing congestion in city centres and helping to preserve the environment.

journeys by Europeans within the 25-nation (Source: DG TREN, European Union were by bus, coach, train, tram or metro. Commission)

In economic terms, this sector brings together a large number of industrial groups and service companies, producing equipment which is increasingly well-adjusted to passenger needs: heavy vehicles, equipment, infrastructure, engineering, passenger information, ticketing and e-money, maintenance, street furniture - plus operating companies and the various local regional transport authorities they work for. In total, land-based public transport accounts for 4.5 million qualified jobs in Europe. The transport sector represents some 7% of European GDP and accounts for 5% of all jobs within the European Union. It is therefore an important field of business in its own right and is a major contributor to the European economy as a whole. The process of European internal market deregulation is one factor encouraging innovation and investment to provide a better service at reduced cost, which in turn creates opportunities for a burgeoning transport sector - an avenue of both growth and employment.

ROUNDTABLE DEBATES AT THE CARREFOUR DE L ’E UROPE

Tuesday June 10

2.30-3.30pm European public transport exports In an increasingly competitive market, the European transport business, which brings together engineers, operators, industrial players and civil engineering firms is firmly committed to penetrating new markets. The sector already has a thriving export market and its level of expertise is highly acclaimed. This debate will bring together players who will discuss the world market and the issues facing European firms seeking to expand their international presence.

4.00-5.30pm Professional bodies and government structures: playing a decisive role in the development of the transport industry How have existing European structures enabled mobility stakeholders to take a joint stand on several vital topics with respect to the expansion of public transport? Is there room for still further progress by creating a set of shared objectives within Europe? How can local government, operators and industrial players work together at the European level to implement sustainable mobility?

Wednesday June 11

10.00-11.00am Changes in user behaviour: is it time to invent new types of communication? Does awareness of the issue of sustainable mobility provide enough leverage to change users’ travel habits? What communications strategies should be deployed to reach the general public? What examples are there of proven campaigns and messages? The aim of this seminar is to provide keys to user behaviour on the basis of real-world trials and the lessons which have been learned from them.

2.30-3.30pm The mobile phone: set to revolutionise e-ticketing and passenger information Mobile phones are playing an increasingly important role in public transport. Real time schedule information, disruption alerts, journey planning, and finding nearby stops: will passenger information become even more widely accessible through the use of mobile phones? Will e-ticketing grow still further, with direct purchase and downloading of tickets and passes for multiple networks? Some of these products are already available, while others are in testing. How will this work out in practice for people as passengers and citizens in the future? What are the financial and organisational implications for local authorities and operators?

4.00-5.00pm Sustainable mobility: priorities for France’s forthcoming EU presidency in terms of sustainable transport On the eve of France’s presidency of the European Union, this keynote debate will be an opportunity to progress on the main measures contained in the Green Paper on urban mobility and find out the results of the consultation addressed to European citizens. For the first time, those promoting mobility in Europe will be able to ask the French Minister for Transport about the priorities he intends to defend to implement sustainable mobility right across Europe.

TRANSPORTS PUBLICS 2008 – THE EUROPEAN MOBILITY EXHIBITION 14

Thursday June 12

10.30-11.30am Can the commitment to massive cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 be achieved? What action can be taken to fulfil the global objectives that aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions fourfold by 2050? What can be done in the transport sector to contribute to fulfilling national objectives for reducing these emissions? The combined input of local government representatives with responsibility for mobility policy, operators, experts and researchers specialising in travel-related issues and climate change will provide an overview of the current situation, a presentation of forecasts, examples of existing initiatives at a European level, and details of resources which can already be implemented in local contexts.

2.00-3.00pm Bike sharing: promoting sustainable mobility At the dawn of the 21st century, the rise of the city bike has been boosted by new self-service bike systems. The success of these flexible and innovative initiatives has demonstrated that bikes have a genuine role to play in urban mobility. Bikes are a key asset for sustainable mobility, whether used on their own or combined with public transport. The discussion will bring together key players in bike use in European conurbations, councillors and operators, and will also bring together the “European network of bike-sharing towns” for the first time.

ORGANISERS

The 3rd European mobility exhibition is being organised by the GIE Objectif transport public, which brings together the UTP (Public and Rail Transport Union) and the Transportation Authorities Group (GART), supported by a European organising committee.

The Objectif transport public EIG

Founded in 2005 by the Transportation Authorities Group (GART) and the Public and Rail Transport Union (UTP), the Objectif transport public EIG's mission is to promote public transport and raise awareness of sustainable mobility issues among professionals and the general public. This strategy is implemented by organising large-scale events. These include:

• Transports Publics, the European mobility exhibition , held in Paris in even- numbered years. • National public transport congress , conference and exhibition, held in a provincial region in odd-numbered years. • Public transport Day , a 1€ offer on French transport networks held during the European Mobility Week in September. • European Mobility Week , a European mass awareness campaign to promote sustainable mobility organised with the French Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Planning.

The GART (Transportation Authorities Group) is a 1901-law registered association founded in 1980 to represent elected officials responsible for public . There are over 260 members: almost all metropolitan areas and “régions”, half of all French “departments” and all transport organising authorities within these areas. The GART is a forum for debate and study for elected transport officials right across the French political spectrum. It also acts as their representative at both the national and European level.

The UTP (Public and Rail Transport Union) is the professional confederation for French urban public passenger transport companies (including Agir, Keolis, RATP, SNCF, Transdev, Veolia transport and others) and rail operators. The UTP is involved with various European bodies: EuroTeam, the EU committee of the International Public Transport Union, the European Committee on Standards, and the European social dialogue committee for the sector

Innovation at the heart of the exhibition

THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT INNOVATION AWARDS

These awards honour the most outstanding innovations from service and industrial companies. • The twin aim of the awards is, firstly, to demonstrate the extent to which innovation in mass passenger transport is an important factor in promoting better transport solutions for both professionals and the general public, in terms of comfort, speed, safety, accessibility, cost economies and health and environmental concerns; • and secondly, to highlight the most dynamic companies.

Eligible candidates (exhibiting industrial or service companies) may compete in three categories: • energy and environment; • intelligent transport systems; • accessibility, fittings, facilities and design.

This European-wide contest is organised under the patronage of the French Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Planning; entries will be judged by a panel of experts and the awards ceremony will take place during the Transports Publics 2008 Exhibition on Thursday, June 12 at 3.30pm at the “Carrefour de l’Europe”.

"Alternative mode transport" zone

Public transport professionals are naturally key players in sustainable mobility. The challenge is to provide better, faster journeys without exhausting energy resources, and minimising greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative-mode travel is becoming increasingly incorporated into global urban public transport offerings (particularly with the use of self- service bike schemes). A dedicated area will be given over to innovative, non-polluting solutions and 'winning combinations', focusing especially on bikes, walking, roller-skating and electric vehicles and featuring bike distributors and manufacturers, passenger counting systems, map solutions, standard and electric bike manufacturers, car-pooling associations and others.

The French Railway Network is innovating to offer a high-performance network to users by contributing to the progressive establishment of a European rail area. The modal shift from road to rail is a major challenge in the coming decades which is as much the responsibility of RFF (as network manager) as of rail transport companies: RFF must rise to the new challenges of sustainable mobility by providing solutions which innovate in economic, social, financial and environmental terms. As the European market is deregulated, firstly for goods and soon for passengers, RFF intends to make its network a shared-access resource for rail transport.
