As one of Europe’s most established tram networks, Gothenburg’s light rail system plays a vital role in delivering sustainable urban mobility across the city. Publicly owned and operated, Gothenburg Tramway System is responsible for ensuring reliable operations while planning strategically for long-term network performance, investment, and resilience.
By joining the Global Light Rail Portal, Gothenburg Tramway System benefits from real-time global intelligence across light rail and metro systems, enabling informed comparison with similar publicly operated networks worldwide. This includes visibility of system characteristics, infrastructure approaches, operational models, and emerging trends that support evidence-based planning and continuous improvement.
The Portal provides a single source of trusted intelligence covering systems that are operational, under construction, or in planning. For public operators, this global perspective supports more confident decision-making by reducing reliance on fragmented research and enabling benchmarking against comparable networks.
“Access to reliable, comparable information is essential for a publicly owned operator planning for the long term. The Global Light Rail Portal gives us valuable visibility into how similar systems worldwide are developing, allowing us to benchmark approaches, understand emerging trends, and support informed, evidence-based decision-making.” Gothenburg Tramway System
Commenting on the collaboration, Andy Lucas, COO at Rail Intel, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Gothenburg Tramway System to the Global Light Rail Portal. Publicly owned operators face increasing pressure to deliver efficient, sustainable services while planning for long-term investment. Access to accurate, global intelligence helps support better decisions, greater transparency, and stronger outcomes for cities and passengers alike.”
The addition of Gothenburg Tramway System further strengthens the Global Light Rail Portal’s position as a trusted resource for operators, authorities, and suppliers seeking clarity across an increasingly complex global light rail landscape.
As cities continue to invest in sustainable transport solutions, access to real-time, comparable intelligence is becoming essential. Rail Intel’s Global Light Rail Portal supports this need by turning complex global data into clear, actionable insight for the organisations shaping the future of urban mobility.rocurement, and performance improvement.
Rail Intel looks forward to supporting Metro de Sevilla as it continues to deliver efficient, innovative, and sustainable urban transport.
