Target minus 20%
The specialist magazine Ville, Rail & Transport (Urban Rail & Transport) is also organising its 3rd conference at SIFER entitled ‘Target -20%: how to reduce the costs of operating railways’. With smaller regional budgets and the need for competitive fares, French railways know they have to reduce costs. What reforms are needed? What do the politicians think? What technological solutions are available? These are some of the key questions for debate….
Grand Prix of the Regions
Since 2000 VRT Magazine has been running a league table on the public transport performance of the French regions. In 2011 they created special Grand Prix Awards for the best initiatives in regional transport development which are presented every two years at SIFER.
Best of luck to the Lille Region!
