civilization as we know it is largely a byproduct
50% + of people live in cities and % is growing up

50% expected increase in personal travel in the Gothenburg region in 2005-2025
Transport-related CO2 emissions should decrease by 4% in 2010 and by 75% in 2050 in respect to 1990
Public transport travel should increase from 24% to 35% in 2020

better services
better information
