Shaped by Mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamburg, Germany\u2019s second-largest urban area, is a vibrant port city home to 5.4 million people. With more bridges than any other city in the world and over 16.1 million overnight stays in 2024, Hamburg stands out as a global destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, Hamburg is Europe\u2019s largest city that is not a national capital, yet it holds comparable economic and strategic importance. Hamburg\u2019s port is one of Europe\u2019s fastest growing and ranks fifth on the continent. The city hosts over many of Germany\u2019s top 500 companies alongside a strong network of universities, research institutes, and healthcare facilities. Given this, it is no surprise that Hamburg also offers a world-class public transport system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1025\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hamburg2027\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/Stadt_Bus-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hamburg2027\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/Stadt_Bus-1.webp 1025w, https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hamburg2027\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/Stadt_Bus-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hamburg2027\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/Stadt_Bus-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1025px) 100vw, 1025px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"public-transport-system-overview\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Public Transport System Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public transport is a key pillar of Hamburg\u2019s economic health. In 2024, <strong>the city\u2019s largest operator, HOCHBAHN<\/strong>, recorded <strong>551 million annual passenger journeys<\/strong> (around 1.5 million per day). While HOCHBAHN employs over 6,600 people and&nbsp;operates&nbsp;nearly 50%&nbsp;of services, it is one of 28 transport operators in the city. Together, they employ around 10,000 people and serve over 1 billion trips annually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamburg stands out for its strong coordination between operators. Through the Hamburger\u202fVerkehrsverbund\u202f(hvv), passengers\u202fbenefit\u202ffrom a single ticket and pricing system across the entire network \u2013 and that\u2019s been in place since 1967. This integration is further strengthened by\u202fthe city\u2019s Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) app,\u202fhvv\u202fswitch, which brings all transport modes together in one platform and supports multimodal mobility.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hamburg&#8217;s climate plan<\/strong> aims to <strong>achieve climate neutrality by 2045<\/strong>. The city has set ambitious targets to reduce CO2 emissions by 70% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and to become CO2-neutral by 2045. Mobility plays an important role in achieving this goal. Electrification is one way the city leads by example and the same can be said for investments in active modes like walking and cycling. But the key to Hamburg\u2019s mobility transition is an investment in all shared modes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, public transport ridership\u202fis expected to continue growing&nbsp;thanks to investment and innovation. With<strong>\u202fannual investment of around \u20ac1.37&nbsp;billion&nbsp;in 2025<\/strong>, HOCHBAHN is&nbsp;busy&nbsp;transforming mobility to encourage a&nbsp;modal&nbsp;shift.&nbsp;This includes&nbsp;putting autonomous&nbsp;shuttles on the city\u2019s roads by 2027&nbsp;and a focus on autonomous driving in regular bus services&nbsp;to boost passenger numbers by 30% before 2035.&nbsp;Public transport is therefore not only essential to Hamburg\u2019s economy, but also central to achieving its climate ambitions.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"cards wp-block
