Urban mobility means more than unlimited freedom of movement. Namely, a higher quality of life.

A city’s main artery is its rapid transit network. The better this network functions, the more attractive the city becomes – as a place to live and to work. This is why it is particularly important for us that infrastructure and vehicles complement each other perfectly. It’s best if everything comes from one supplier, such as in the case of Bangkok or Houston.

Of course, our competence in system integration means all our solutions are also available individually. No matter whether you are interested in information systems, automated transit operations or driverless vehicles, the main argument in favor of Siemens Transportation Systems remains the same: satisfied passengers.

While passengers enjoy short waiting periods as well as comfort and safety in vehicles and stations, operators can benefit from reduced lifecycle costs. This makes mass transit more attractive and more cost-effective. Complete mobility.

Examples
Metro Oslo
Oslo: Every city has its special demands. In Oslo, it was important for us to be able to ensure operational safety of the metro system even at extreme subzero temperatures. more
Budapest: Any place that has the highest ridership figures worldwide needs the longest low-floor tram in the world. In Budapest, our 54-meter-long Combino Plus carries 10,000 passengers per hour and per direction. more
Hanover: Our Railcom Manager enables us to create a seamless network of information, surveillance and automation systems so that passengers can feel even safer. more
Metro Paris
Paris: Fully automatic metro operation allows flexible adaptation of the existing transport capacity to the changing level of demand. This goes not only for Paris, but also for Peking and Metro Line 10 that will serve the venues for the 2008 Olympic Games. more
Houston: As general contractor for the twelve-kilometer light rail line, we built an attractive addition to the city’s public transportation system – and did so in only 35 months. more
Ultra Low Floor Tram ULF
Vienna: Having the world's lowest entry height of only 19 cm, our "ultra low floor" trams ensure optimum boarding convenience and rapid passenger transfer. Another advantage: cost-intensive adaptations of the infrastructure are rendered superfluous thanks to same-level boarding from the station platform. more
Madrid: The Sitras SES energy storage system harmoniously combines economy and ecology. The braking energy of the vehicles can be used at a later time and the voltage supply is stabilized. The result: reduced energy consumption and higher availability. more
