How much should public transport cost? A discussion evening

Christoph Heinzelmann

Finally, it’s that time again. Our second FSR discussion evening in german will take place on Tuesday 5 July at 6:30 pm in POT 13.

This time, the topic is public transport fares. How much should public transport cost? Should it be as cheap as possible, maybe even free? Or does good public transport have its price? Or do you have completely different ideas about how a modern fare system should work?

If you enjoy discussing these issues, then come to the new FSR discussion evening on 5 July at 6:30 pm in POT 13. After a keynote speech, we will discuss these questions together. Nibbles will be provided, drinks can be purchased on site.

Studying transport and traffic – What else!

Hosea Winter

Yes, you can study transport and traffic! Studyng transport and traffic at TU Dresden is versatile, exciting and future-oriented. Whether it’s climate protection, sustainability, liveable cities and communities or innovative technologies – you want to help shaping things and not just drive along? Then studying transport and traffic is just the right thing for you!

With these words and the new marketing film shown publicly for the first time on Uni Day 2022, our faculty will be promoting transport sciences at TU-Dresden in the future.
