This chapter will be organized in three main sections. The first section will be devoted to wireless communications for public transport applications. We will first recall some challenges for sustainable mobility and the difficulties encountered to implement on-the-shelf wireless systems for public transport. Then, we will give a brief overview and some examples of the wireless technologies deployed today: beacons, bifilar communications, radio systems, etc. After this, we will present the future trends in the domain of wireless systems for public transport applications and the ongoing research in the railway domain as well as the metro and tramway domains. Particularly, we will emphasis the railway applications of Internet of Things.
