HIGHLIGHTS
What transportation solutions does Transdev offer?
- Public transportation: buses, coaches, trains, metros, light rails, cable cars, funiculars, and maritime or river connections.
- Complementary services: on-demand transportation, bicycles, taxis, carsharing, and transportation tailored to people with reduced mobility or patients.
- Networks tailored to specific local areas: solutions developed in partnership with local authorities based on population density, travel distances, and residents’ needs, in both urban and rural areas.
- Alternatives to private cars: development of public transit, shared mobility, and vehicles that emit fewer greenhouse gases, as part of the Group’s environmental strategy, Moving Green.
What road transportation services does Transdev offer for cities and local areas?
From city centers areas to rural communities, road transportation meets a wide variety of travel needs. Buses serve neighborhoods and business districts, while intercity buses connect cities and regions over longer distances. On the busiest routes, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) improves service reliability and travel times through specific infrastructure, such as dedicated lanes and right-of-way at intersections. Transdev designs and operates these networks with the needs of residents and connections to other public transportation in mind.
What are the best transportation options for high-volume urban and regional travel?
In large metropolitan areas and on the busiest lines, trains, metros, and light rails can transport large numbers of passengers. Other modes of transportation, such as urban cable cars and funiculars, facilitate travel in areas that are difficult to access, such as those with steep slopes or obstacles to overcome. Transdev has expertise in operating these networks, which require specialized equipment, regular maintenance, and coordination with other public transportation systems.
What maritime and river transportation services does Transdev offer?
In cities crossed by a river, in coastal areas, or in areas separated by a body of water, maritime and river transportation services are a transportation solution in their own right. Ferries and river or maritime shuttles connect neighborhoods or municipalities while providing connections to other modes of transportation. Transdev operates passenger water transportation services in several countries.
What mobility services complement public transportation?
A transportation network isn’t limited to regular bus, light rail, or train routes. To reach a stop, serve a sparsely populated area, or make a one-time trip, other services can fill in the gaps. On-demand transportation, bicycles, taxis, car-sharing, and multimodal solutions make it possible to tailor service to travel habits and facilitate transfers.
What transportation solutions does Transdev offer to people with reduced mobility and patients?
To ensure that everyone can travel under the best possible conditions, Transdev offers transportation solutions tailored to the needs of people with reduced mobility (PRM) and patients. Accessible vehicles, specialized transportation services, and passenger assistance: these services make it easier to get around, whether for daily travel or medical appointments.
How is Transdev supporting the transition to more sustainable mobility?
To reduce the environmental footprint of travel, Transdev is taking action on both transportation services and the vehicles used. Its environmental strategy, “Moving Green,” is based in particular on the development of public transit networks, the decarbonization of fleets, and improving the complementarity between modes of transportation.
Developing alternatives to private cars
To get around without always relying on private cars, travelers can choose from a variety of transportation options: buses, trains, light rails, on-demand transportation, or bicycles. In partnership with local governments, Transdev helps develop networks tailored to residents’ needs and facilitates connections between these different modes of transportation.
Accelerating the Decarbonization of Fleets
La transition énergétique passe également par le renouvellement des véhicules et l'adaptation des infrastructures. Transdev déploie des bus et autocars électriques, ainsi que d'autres motorisations alternatives selon les caractéristiques des réseaux. Une évolution qui implique aussi de prévoir les équipements de recharge ou d'avitaillement et d'adapter l'exploitation quotidienne.
Developing Technologies to Support Mobility
Les technologies numériques contribuent à l'évolution des services de transport, qu'il s'agisse d'optimiser l'exploitation des réseaux, de faciliter les déplacements ou de développer de nouvelles solutions. Transdev travaille entre autres sur les véhicules autonomes partagés, en complément de ses activités de transport public.
Transdev's Climate Goals for 2030
-30%
target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per 100 km traveled by the fleet, excluding maritime transport, between 2018 and 2030.
-40%
target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions per passenger and per kilometer traveled between 2018 and 2030.
Which mode of transportation should be chosen based on local areas' needs?
The choice of a transportation solution depends on several factors: population density, travel distances, expected ridership, available infrastructure, and residents’ needs. As a result, multiple modes of transportation can be combined within a single network to provide a cohesive transportation system.
Providing services to neighborhoods and urban facilities
Bus, BRT
Connecting Cities and Local Areas
Coach, regional train
Transporting Large Volumes of Traffic in Densely Populated Areas
Metro, light rail, train
Overcoming Geographical Obstacles
Cable, funicular
Providing service to sparsely populated areas
On-demand transportation, bus and coach routes
Facilitating local travel
Bicycles, Shared Mobility
Meeting Specific Needs
Transportation for People with reduced mobility, Medical Transportation
These solutions are not mutually exclusive. Their complementary nature makes it possible to tailor transportation services to the characteristics of each region and to coordinate connections between different services.
What specific examples illustrate Transdev's transportation solutions?
From rail to urban cable cars and electric vehicle fleets, several projects illustrate the diversity of solutions Transdev has implemented to meet the needs of local communities.
Frequently Asked Questions About Transdev Transportation Solutions
What are the different modes of transportation operated by Transdev?
Transdev operates bus, coach, train, metro, light rail, trolleybus, and cable car networks, as well as maritime and river transport services. The Group also offers complementary solutions, such as on-demand transportation, bicycles, taxis, and car-sharing.
What is the difference between a bus, a coach, and a BRT?
The bus primarily provides urban and suburban transportation, with frequent stops. It is designed mainly for standing passengers, and the passengers seats are not equipped with seat belts.
A Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is a bus service that benefits from specific infrastructure, such as dedicated lanes or priority at intersections, to improve reliability and reduce travel times.
Coaches are primarily used for intercity, regional, and school routes. Passengers are required to wear seat belts.
What transportation solutions are suitable for rural areas?
In sparsely populated areas, intercity bus routes and on-demand transportation connect towns, communities, and key services. Depending on local needs, these solutions can be supplemented by bus routes or other shared mobility services.
Does Transdev offer transportation services tailored to people with reduced mobility?
Yes. Transdev operates transportation services tailored to people with reduced mobility (PRM), including accessible vehicles, specialized on-demand transportation, and assistance services. The services offered vary depending on the network and passengers’ needs.
How does Transdev help reduce the environmental impact of transportation?
Transdev is working to both develop public transportation and decarbonize its fleets. Its "Moving Green" strategy, for example, is based on the deployment of electric vehicles, the use of alternative powertrains, and the development of solutions that complement private car use.
