Istanbul has become a reference point for integrated urban mobility as the ITS European Congress opens in the city today, bringing together transport authorities, technology providers, and researchers to address the barriers preventing cities from scaling mobility systems beyond the pilot phase.
The congress arrives as a series of preparatory discussions — including a recent ERTICO webinar titled ‘From Pilot to Scale: Deploying Integrated Mobility Systems’ — have highlighted Istanbul’s operational approach as a working model for cities still navigating the transition from experimentation to system-wide deployment.
