Local Transport

With thousands of visitors and official delegations expected to attend, the WUF13 Azerbaijan Operations Company is working closely with relevant state institutions and the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency to deliver an optimised transport strategy. By integrating with the existing public transport network and implementing appropriate traffic management measures, a comprehensive transport system will ensure an accessible, efficient, and sustainable travel experience for participants throughout the event.

Event Buses and Transport Hubs

Throughout the event, a free transport system will be available for all accredited participants (if an accreditation badge is not received yet, the online registration confirmation letter is accepted as a substitute), providing connections between Baku Olympic Stadium and key city venues, as well as transport hubs near accommodation areas.

Detailed information on routes, schedules, and hub locations will be shared shortly.
