They also reminded the audience that mobility is "an open, opportunity-filled and ever-changing scene" and, for that very reason, public transport's role as urban and metropolitan mobility coordinator needs to be strengthened. Another aspect brought out by the speakers was the importance of giving passengers a good traveling experience, even taking precedence over other more objective advantages. High customer satisfaction, they pointed out, prompts them to share their experience with their peers. One of the burning issues in this area is the influence of transport on the environment and competitiveness. Congress speakers stressed that improving mobility ensured a higher quality of life to the public at large and boosted the economy as a whole. According to Miguel Ruiz, ATUC president, public transport service firms are playing an increasingly crucial role in mobility issues. More and more citizens nowadays want to lead a healthy lifestyle and live in unpolluted cities.
