Now in its 5th year, MetroRail remains the industry’s definitive rail event for the CEOs and COOs of the world’s leading metros.
Despite the global credit crunch, the urban rail industry is surging ahead. As oil prices continue to rise, urban populations across the globe are feeling the squeeze, and they are turning to public transport in ever increasing numbers. MetroRail 2009 will examine the impact that these conditions are having on the urban rail industry.
