The #9EUR ticket has shown: Millions of people are increasingly using public transport. Not only suburban trains and subway trains, but also buses in particular. Whether in the city or in the countryside, the bus is the backbone of local public transport. When people talk about the future of mobility with regard to buses, however, their thoughts usually stop at the electrification of vehicles. The fact that the bus system can represent an even greater lever in the mobility turnaround is usually overlooked. That is why we will be addressing the following questions in the first MCube SpeakerSeries "Future of Mobility" in 2023 with various thought leaders from research and practice:
- Can the bus system convince as many road users as possible to switch to this mode of transport in the future?
- Will the bus of the future continue to run on fixed routes?
- Which on-demand systems promise more individualism in public transport?
- If we want to reduce the overall vehicle density in the future, what role can the bus system play in this? Can the bus system of the future combine individual, public and freight transportation?
- What impact does highly automated driving have on public transport and what added value can it contribute
Come along, be inspired and contribute your questions for "the bus system of the future" to the joint discussion. Together we will shape the mobility transition.

Thorsten Bergmaier-Trede
Design Innovation Management, MAN Truck & Bus SE
Thorsten Bergmaier-Trede works in design at MAN Truck & Bus SE and received his diploma in Transportation Design from Pforzheim University in 1999. From the very beginning, the subject of vehicle design led him into the broad spectrum of holistic mobility. From the Swabian to the Japanese mobility area, he moved to Munich via Nauman Design for Audi, BMW, MZ to MAN SE. At the same time, he has been leading and supporting international university projects on mobility concepts of the future for over 20 years.
From 2007 to 2010, he was founding professor and head of the product design course at the largest German university abroad, the "German University in Cairo, GUC".
Dr. Martin Dürr
Managing Director/CTO, Dromos GmbH
Degree and doctorate in computer science at KIT. Then research professor at MIT in Boston. 25+ years of professional experience in transportation and consulting in passenger transport and logistics. International experience in infrastructure, rolling stock and operations, with a focus on public transportation. Founder, partner and Chief Technology Officer of Dromos.
Moritz Seidenfus
Research Associate, TUM, MCube Project: STEAM
Moritz works at the Chair of Automotive Engineering in the Electric Vehicle - System Design team as a research assistant on his way to a PhD. Prior to this, he worked for various players in the automotive industry such as Daimler AG and Bertrandt AG in addition to his academic training at the Technical University of Munich.
Today, he is involved in the MCube research project STEAM, in which bus transport is to be redesigned with regard to operation, transport efficiency and user-centered design of the driving experience together with partners from industry and society.
In addition to the topic of future urban mobility, he is passionate about sustainability - whether on urban roads or in tranquil nature.
Designer Johannes Barckmanns
Global Design Manager EDAG Engineering GmbH
Mr. Johannes Barckmann graduated as a designer from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hanover and started his professional career at BMW.
