The increase in urban population in recent years has led to a surge in demand for rail transit in large cities, and more and more electricity is being used for public transport to meet the growing mass transit. This presentation takes public transport in Vienna, Austria (including metros, trams and buses) as an example to introduce its experiences in improving energy efficiency and further the potential of energy saving.
