The global public transport market is facing three major changes: shrinking natural resources, increasing environmental awareness and strained public finances. It was in order to prepare for these changes, and to meet the expectations of both passengers and transport authorities that the merger between Veolia Transport and Transdev was initiated.

With a presence in 27 countries worldwide, Transdev is the world reference in public passenger transportation. Transdev covers the whole transport chain to offer the best response to the needs of passengers and local government authorities.

Out of all the public transport groups, Transdev is the most internationally oriented, offering the widest range of intermodal and integrated services. It is virtually unique in its involvement in every stage of public transport projects, including design, operation and maintenance.

The new company embodies a new approach to business based on offering services that are both multimodal and fully integrated.

With extensive experience in blending public and private interest and expertise in contract design complemented with the characteristics of its shareholders, Transdev is the answer to both collective interests and individual needs.

It puts the strength of an international business to work at a local level.
