How buses can deliver true mobility for everyone: a European Mobility Week contribution by Arriva's Sian Leydon - Sustainable Bus
"Every September, European Mobility Week reminds us that sustainable mobility is about more than moving people: it's about inclusion, opportunity, and the health of our cities and regions. This year's theme, Mobility for everyone, is especially poignant. If Europe is to meet its sustainability goals, deliver cleaner air, and unlock fairer access to opportunity, passenger transport must sit at the very centre of the solution."
"With operations in 11 European countries, employing more than 36,000 people and delivering 1.5 billion passenger journeys each year, we see every day how buses, trains, trams, and shared mobility services connect people to jobs, education, healthcare, and each other. Public transport is not just a service, it is the backbone of Europe's social, environmental, and economic ambitions."
"When more people choose public transport, the benefits multiply: lower emissions and cleaner air, improved physical and mental health, more resilient local economies, and better access to jobs, education, and essential services for underserved areas. When transport systems are designed around the needs of passengers, they create a virtuous cycle. Higher ridership drives better services and investment, which in turn attracts even more users."
European Mobility Week promotes active travel, public transport and smart transport solutions under the theme Mobility for Everyone, emphasizing better access to sustainable transport. Sustainable mobility involves inclusion, opportunity, and the health of cities and regions. Passenger transport must be central to meeting sustainability goals, delivering cleaner air, and unlocking fairer access to opportunity. Arriva operates in 11 European countries, employs over 36,000 people, and delivers 1.5 billion passenger journeys annually, illustrating how buses, trains, trams and shared mobility connect people to jobs, education and healthcare. Designing systems around passenger needs creates a virtuous cycle of higher ridership, better services and increased investment.
