Multimodal distribution based on European standards – advantages and challenges

Cross border multimodal information and booking requires use of standardization, in this session we will cover Entur’ way to a fully national infrastructure which enables cross border solutions. Why use standards, why do it open source, what we have done, the outcomes we see, and further plans. All in context of Transmodel, NeTEx, SIRI, and other relevant standards.
