The CDRI guidance document treats extreme heat as an operational threat to public transport systems rather than as a peripheral environmental condition. Its iconic idea is that heat management must be integrated into transit planning, asset design, passenger protection and institutional preparedness before extreme events become service crises. The contribution is practical and conceptual at once: public transport resilience is defined through the capacity to protect vulnerable passengers, maintain essential mobility and adapt stations, vehicles, stops and operations to rising thermal stress. Methodologically, the document works as a community-of-practice guide, assembling case studies, design recommendations, operational protocols and institutional roles for heat preparedness. Its bridge to the wider field is the intersection of climate adaptation, infrastructure resilience, public health and transport equity. Heat becomes a mobility variable: it changes waiting, ridership, exposure, accessibility and safety, particularly for elderly people, children, outdoor workers and those with limited alternatives.
