On Thursday, 27 June 2024, the Border Focal Point Network hosted the 19th episode of the 'Beyond Borders' Breakfast Debates series, focusing on “How to enhance cross-border public transport for a more integrated EU”
This edition delved into how to facilitate cross-border travel between cross-border regions. Our main objective was to explore how the public sector can establish and guarantee a reliable and efficient cross-border public transport service, especially for road transport such as buses or tram lines. We discussed strategies to encourage cross-border commuters to choose public transport over private vehicles. Throughout the session, we shared real experiences, as well as new suggestions to create reliable cross-border transport services in the EU.
