World Public Transport Day is a brand new initiative launching on 17 April 2026 and marked every year on the same day.

Brought to you by UITP and its partners across the world, it is a global celebration of the critical role public transport plays in our everyday lives, the success of our towns and cities, our economic prosperity and sustainable development.

World Public Transport Day is a chance to shine a light on what public transport makes possible and to celebrate the journeys – shared and solo – that bring us together.

It’s one day and millions of journeys. A day to say – we love public transport, it moves us all.

Further information will follow as the campaign develops.
