This last year has been particularly fruitful with the EU Smart Move High Level Group and we are looking forward to its policy and business recommendations and best practices for effectively doubling collective passenger transport by bus and coach, which will be delivered on 21 February 2013 in Brussels.
As we count down the final days left in 2012, let us now prepare for a bright future ahead; a future where more and more countries order trolleybuses like Austria, a future where long distance coaches offer more for less like in North America, a future where demand for buses increases as in India or where job seekers are offered free bus travel like in the UK. So wherever you are, make a Smart Resolution for 2013 to share bus and coach advantages and convince those around you to make the Smart Move, by choosing buses and coaches as the safe, efficient, green, affordable and user-friendly mode of transport.
Best wishes and have a Happy Smart Year 2013!
