First, the participants were given an overview of the most important INIT novelties. Afterwards, they were able to deepen their individual fields of interest.

The impressive programme was further upgraded by the highly appreciated best practice reports from customers. Special thanks go to Detlev Teichmann, who talked about the makeover of the ticketing system of Bremer Straßenbahn AG, Dr. Christian Kindinger, who informed the participants about ITCS developments in Wuppertal, and Trevor Findley, who presented the ID-based ticketing system in Portland, which will set a benchmark not only in the US.
