 Siim Kallas, Vice-President of the Commission in charge of transport, about LINK and the objectives tackled by LINK:
"(...) The current planning and ticketing systems, focussing on a single transport mode or regional or national borders, are not really capable of addressing this concern.
Research is going on and researchers and professionals, for instance in the "Link" forum under the EU's research programme, make strong recommendations to move in this direction.(...)
I am convinced that the potential for intelligent transport systems can only be fully realised in Europe if we move from a limited and fragmented approach to a coordinated one. (...)"
