The Regional Ministry of Housing, Transport and Infrastructure has a 100 square metre booth for this fair, where Metro de Madrid and the Regional Transport Consortium (CRTM) will present their policies and development plans in this field to business leaders and CEOs of the most important companies in the industry.
Visitors will be able to learn, for example, about the future extensions of the underground, the digitalisation of its facilities, the modernisation of the Santiago Bernabéu station and the innovative autonomous bus that operates at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), developed jointly by the CRTM and the General Directorate of Traffic.
Representatives of these two public bodies will also participate as speakers at two round tables. The first, on the opening day, with the title, Public transport as the backbone of sustainable mobility for citizens, with the participation of the CEO of Metro de Madrid, Ignacio Vázquez, and the Managing Director of the Consortium, Pablo Rodríguez.
