The AROA Annual Congress is the highlight of the AROA year. Senior Managers from railway operators across Asia converged on Kuala Lumpur for three days of unrivalled opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of the railway industry.

The emphasis of the association is very much on the sharing of expertise and experience for the mutual benefit of all members.

With conference papers and specialist workshops, plus many of the world’s top railway suppliers on show, this is an event not to be missed by any railway operator, who wishes to develop their staff’s knowledge and improve their service to the travelling public.

Delegations, which attended this year’s Congress included the following:

Ho Chi Minh City MAUR

Manila LRMC

Hong Kong MTR

Singapore SBS Transit

Sri Lanka Railways

MRT Jakarta

Comments from AROA members included: It is a great event, giving an opportunity for networking between railway operators in Asia, as well as for exchanging ideas with suppliers on the latest technologies. Joint summary from Singapore SMRT delegates The event was a success with a chance to meet many different railway experts. Edmund Law, Fleet Development Manager, Hong Kong MTR My experience of joining the Rail Solutions Asia 2019 as an official delegate has been a very enjoyable and informative one. We had been assisted at every stage, starting from the preparation of requirements, to the flight reservation, hotel accommodation and registration at the conference venue. Attending the lectures was also very helpful to our work, and meeting other rail operators and manufacturers was also a great experience. Sharon Mondala, MRT Jakarta The Rail Solution this year is bigger and better, and very well organised. Exhibitors are well arranged giving time for us to see the products that we need.
