Kollektivtrafikens Eldsjäl

Time to nominate for the award Kollektivtrafikens Eldsjäl!

For the second time, the public transport sector organizations invite you to participate in the Kollektivtrafikens Eldsjäl award. The aim is to show that a lot of good work is being done in the industry and to highlight those who are not always seen as frontrunners.

It could be a person working in services that are rarely noticed or appreciated but working in one of the core areas of public transport.

Who would you like to nominate that you think deserves some extra attention for their work?
