At Arriva d.o.o., we follow the trends in the digitalization of public passenger transport by actively participating in European research projects. Within the framework of the Horizon Europe program, we have obtained European grants for the implementation of the JULIA project with the support of the EU Space Agency (EUSPA).
Pilot project in the Municipality of Piran
Among the selected areas for the implementation of pilot activities is the Municipality of Piran, where we will establish an adaptive transport service in the Piran countryside.
The pilot project will run from June 29 to August 31, 2026. If there is a good response from users, there is a possibility of extending the service on weekends in September.
