Kollektivtrafikens Eldsjäl

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.
