Abstract

This article presents a systematic literature review that includes research papers published since 2015–2019, and addresses topics in the areas of on Public Transport Systems, Sustainability and Smart Cities. From 42 articles, 20 were documents that met the inclusion criteria and represented a diverse sample. This article also mapped 171 smart cities from 5 continents, where the transport system is most relevant. Although the results show a similar trend in terms of the close relationship between sustainability and public transport systems in terms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), it differs from one country to another in terms of the implementation indicators, policies and user behaviors. In light of the above, this research offers a contemporary view of the activities carried out under the theme and creates the basis for future action plans.
