“This really is a major event for Ireland,” says organiser Karen Magill from the Federation of Passenger Transport Northern Ireland (FPTNI).

“It will provide a platform on which transport business leaders can meet international decision makers from a range of operator, supplier and local authority organisations.

“For us, the event really represents a perfect opportunity for the industry to come together during these exceptional economic circumstances and look at opportunities to assist each other.

“This year’s show will be all about working together and helping our industry through these challenging times. We hope that the event will help lift the mood of manufacturers, suppliers and operators alike and provide assurance that there are better times to look forward to in the year ahead.”
