Transport Data : Standardization and Openness for Sustainable Mobility mobility

Transport Data : Standardization and Openness for Sustainable Mobility

The lack of data on public transport systems presents an obstacle for African cities. Authorities, users and public transport operators are disadvantaged in planning better and more efficient public transport and its use. The session will illustrate the scope for opening up and standardizing transport data among African stakeholders. It will draw on the theoretical dimension formalized by the DigitalTransport4Africa approach, inspiring examples such as Transport for Cairo (TfC) and Data.Transport.
