World Public Transport Day 2026: celebrating the mobility that moves us forward
On 17 April 2026, the world comes together to celebrate World Public Transport Day. This global event recognises the essential role that public transport plays in our daily lives, the dynamism of our cities, and the sustainability of our planet. Public transport is much more than just a means of getting t from one place to another. It is the foundation that helps people access jobs, education, healthcare, and opportunities, while fostering cleaner, healthier, and more connected communities.
Rail systems, from railways to metros and trams, form the backbone of sustainable urban mobility, providing millions with safer, more efficient, and more reliable journeys every day.
