English – Transdev, the mobility company

This new edition of the Women ExCom Mentoring program paves the way for more inclusive leadership by connecting nine talented women from eight countries with Executive Committee mentors to share experiences, perspectives, and ambitions.

On December 17th and 18th, 2025, our Executive Committee launched the 4th edition of the Women ExCom Mentoring program — a key initiative that reflects our strong commitment to diversity and inclusion at the highest level of leadership. Alongside other initiatives focused on career development, leadership training, and diversity, the Women ExCom Mentoring program further strengthens our ambition to create equal opportunities and inspire future role models.

This year’s edition brings together nine mentees with diverse backgrounds from Portugal, Germany, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Throughout the year, they will engage in a privileged exchange with their mentor — an Executive Committee member revealed during the launch event. This program is designed to encourage participants to step into key leadership roles, offering strategic guidance and personalised support.

This program has been an incredible human experience. It makes me feel much more confident and stronger in my leadership skills.

Marcela, a participant from the 2024 edition and now Procurement Director for France.

This program is a powerful lever to boost skills and careers, while giving Executive Committee members a fresh perspective rooted in concrete challenges. It is a reciprocal learning experience that benefits both mentees and mentors alike.

Stay tuned for upcoming testimonials from Joana, Marcela, Anne-Sophie, and Audrey on our social media channels, where they will share their journey and ambitions. And don’t miss our end-of-year 2026 review to measure the impact of this inspiring program!

Two major urban networks launches, effective December 14, 2025

Utrecht Binnen (U-OV bus & tram)

Awarded in June 2024, the Utrecht Binnen contract covers bus and tram services in and around Utrecht city center under the U-OV brand for 10 years, and represents a total value of around €1.7 billion. As part of the program, Transdev is currently replacing the entire current bus fleet with zero-emission, including 228 new electric buses from Solaris, Yutong, Volvo and VDL, alongside the reuse of 69 existing electric buses.

The network comprises 50 bus lines, carrying over 30 million passengers a year. The tram network covers three lines over 18.3 km, with 54 CAF trainsets, carrying around 10 million passengers a year. Daily operations are supported by a dedicated team of around 1,000 staff members, including approximately 850 drivers and technicians and 150 staff in support, operations and management functions.

Throughout the 18-month transition process, we witnessed a high level of professionalism, which created confidence and a sense of calmness. We want to congratulate the passengers, as we are fully convinced that they will benefit from this punctual and tailor-made public transport service within the Province.

André van Schie, Deputy Representative in charge of Mobility, Economy & Digitalization for Province of Utrecht.

HWGO (Hoeksche Waard–Goeree-Overflakkee, South Holland)

In the HWGO region of the Province of South Holland, Transdev has started its renewed contract under the Transdev brand, with a focus on improved service, zero-emission mobility and social inclusion. Awarded in November 2024, the new 13-year contract (until end 2038) is valued at close to €0.5 billion over its duration and carries around 4 million passengers per year.

The program includes an increase of 20% in services by 2028 using a bus fleet which will ultimately be fully electric and zero-emission, including 67 new Volvo and VDL battery-electric buses and 20 existing Solaris hydrogen fuel cell electric buses.

The start of Utrecht Binnen and the renewed HWGO concession on the same day is a powerful signal of our teams’ commitment and readiness. We are grateful for the trust placed in us by the Provinces of Utrecht and South Holland, and we will focus from day one on reliability, passenger experience and implementing cleaner mobility across both networks.

Manu Lageirse, CEO of Transdev Nederland.

Football, Kids, Laughs & Loaded Burgers – Transdev Dublin Light Rail Knows How to Throw a Party!

Last weekend, the Ballyogan community and the Samuel Beckett Community Centre on the Green Line were sizzling and not just from the BBQ!
Transdev teamed up with DLRCC and the amazing crew at the community centre to host the annual Family Fun Day, and what a day it was.

The morning kicked off with the Luas Mini World Cup Finals, followed by drum lessons, chats at the mobile petting zoo, magic shows, and face painting. Shout-out to the BBQ, the burgers just keep getting better (and bigger!) and of course, the ice cream. A summer’s day would not be complete without a ‘99.

It’s days like this that remind us “Luas brings people and communities together.”

Transdev would like to extend a massive thanks to everyone who showed up, literally pitched in, danced, played, volunteered, tidied up, and helped make it all happen. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year!
Here’s to lots more days like this across the Luas network. 💛

Issy-les-Moulineaux, August 4, 2025 – The first half of 2025 is a unique moment for Transdev, with a historic launch and an evolution in its shareholding structure:

On June 29, 2025, Transdev launched the first regional rail line managed by a private operator since the opening of the market to competition in France, between Marseille, Toulon, and Nice, with a significant increase in train kilometers offered, aiming for more reliable, punctual, and carbon-free mobility.
On July 1, the process of the evolution of Transdev group’s shareholding structure was finalized. The Rethmann Group acquired an additional stake in Transdev, bringing its total staketo 66%. Alongside it, Caisse des Dépôts, with 34%, confirmed its position as a long-term partner. Through this transaction, Transdev’s two long-standing shareholders reaffirm their commitment and confidence in Transdev’s sustainable growth strategy and management.

Business activity was very positive at the start of the year, with significant contract wins, particularly in France, the United States, and Germany.

In France:

On April 10, 2025, Île-de-France Mobilités awarded Transdev the contract to operate bus lines in the Ourcq sector (DSP No. 44), a sector mainly covering the department of Seine-Saint-Denis. The Vexin region, a sector in the wider outskirts, was also re-awarded to Transdev.
On May 20, 2025, Île-de-France Mobilités announced that Transdev will operate four express bus lines (two existing and two new) to Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle. This contract will begin on December 1, 2025, progressively introducing the lines, for a period of six years.
On July 1, Métropole Rouen Normandie renewed its confidence in the Transdev group to continue operating its Astuce mobility network, starting January 1, 2026, for a period of nine years. Transdev will continue to deliver on its key commitments to improve the daily lives of the 500,000 residents of the 71 municipalities in the metropolitan area.

In the United States:

On April 10, Transdev launched its paratransit contract in Las Vegas, Nevada. Valued at $580 million over five years, the contract is supported by an operational team of more than 850 employees and includes a fleet of 400 vehicles.

In Germany:

On July 7, 2025, Transdev Germany announced that it would retain two major regional rail contracts: NordWestBahn will continue to operate the Weser-Ems network in Lower Saxony for nine years starting in December 2026, while Bayerische Regiobahn will extend its contract for 14 years, starting in December 2029, operating the Rosenheim network in Bavaria (with its connection to Salzburg and Kufstein in Austria) until 2043, thus confirming Transdev as the leading private rail operator in Germany.

Transdev’s 2025 half-year results were characterized by:

Solid growth of 5.4% (6.2% at constant exchange rates and scope) in revenue reaching €5.24 billion, thanks in particular to the commercial launch of the paratransit contract in Las Vegas and the start of operations of regional rail lines for Östgötapendeln in the south-west of Stockholm.
EBITDA up 2% to €308 million
EBIT up 61% to €93.6 million
Net financial debt down compared to June 2024 to €1.25 billion, stable compared to December 2024 (+€21 million).

The company successfully completed an inaugural bond issue of €800 million, with a 3-year tranche of €300 million and a 7-year tranche of €500 million, which was significantly oversubscribed.

Transdev United Kingdom is celebrating after its groundbreaking premium fleet on flagship route The 36, linking Harrogate with Leeds and Ripon, was named as Britain’s best zero emission transport innovation.

Judges at the national E-Mobility Awards selected the Transdev United Kingdom’s multi-million pound project to deliver 19 new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400EV double deck vehicles – part of a wider £21 million programme to replace its entire Harrogate fleet with new zero emission buses – as winner of the Best Bus Innovation trophy.

Transdev’s mission to convert its Harrogate depot to 100 per cent electric bus operation presented a once-in-a-generation opportunity to work with engineers at a leading bus manufacturer to develop a new bus design capable of building on The 36’s potential for further growth.

Working in partnership with North Yorkshire Council, Government funding worth £7.8 million was secured to support just over a third of the total cost of 39 new electric buses, plus re-equipping Transdev’s Harrogate depot with new technology to power and maintain the innovative buses.

The first new electric double-deck bus destined for The 36 was unveiled at a high-profile VIP launch in front of Harrogate’s prestigious Yorkshire Hotel in June 2024 – followed by a free family party featuring red and black ice creams to match the new bus for children, while their parents sampled a bottled beer brewed locally to celebrate the launch.

The double deck buses have been joined by 20 Mercedes-Benz eCitaro electric single deckers to create a complete new zero emission electric bus fleet based at Transdev’s depot in the town.

Externally, Transdev’s Enviro 400EV electric buses are packed with safety features, including digital electronic rear view cameras in place of the traditional mirrors, giving drivers a clearer view of potential hazards – while on the inside, a unique specification developed using Transdev’s extensive experience offers customers a level of luxury unlike anything else on Britain’s bus routes.

A glazed staircase leads to the upper deck featuring a two-plus-one seating layout, glazed roof panels to let in natural light and wireless mobile device charging, while on the lower deck, two dedicated wheelchair spaces and high-visibility flooring and lighting makes travel easier and safer for all.

Transdev received the Best Bus Innovation trophy at the e-Mobility Awards presentation, held at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

Fleet of new buses to link Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and Otley with Leeds Bradford Airport’s expanded £100m terminal building

Yorkshire bus firm Transdev has rolled out the first of its new £3.5 million fleet of hybrid buses onto its popular FLYER branded network serving Leeds Bradford Airport.

The first of 15 new high-tech, ultra-low emission buses entered service Thursday 3 July 2025, on three dedicated routes linking Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and Otley with the Airport – delivering more capacity, easier accessibility and lower emissions with journeys running up to every 30 minutes and departures from early morning until late at night.

Transdev’s new Mercedes Benz Citaro buses offer more space at busy times, with 39 seats plus room for up to 31 standing – bringing the total number of people able to travel on each new bus up to 70, compared with 54 on its current diesel-powered buses, an increase of 29%.

In addition to this increase in passenger capacity, engineers at Mercedes Benz predict that the integration of this cleaner hybrid power solution will deliver an 8.5 percent reduction in fuel consumption, further reducing our total CO2 emissions.

Key customer benefits of Transdev’s new FLYER hybrid buses include:

Increased capacity – the new vehicles have 39 seats, compared with 38 on the current buses, and can carry a lot more standing customers with space for up to 31 standees on each new bus
More accessible and comfortable – hearing loops and full colour audio-visual display screens, with a dedicated screen facing the on-board wheelchair space
Saving fuel – Mercedes Benz engineers are predicting a drop of 8.5 percent in fuel usage as a result of the switch to hybrid power, with a 14 kw electric motor generating energy when coasting and braking, which is then used to assist the engine when pulling away. Each new bus is fitted with the most efficient Euro VI engine to ensure high performance as well as low emissions
Safety first – Each of the new Citaro Hybrid buses is packed with safety systems, including electronic assistance at the front and when turning, plus traffic sign monitoring and electronic tyre pressure reporting. Acceleration Skid Control significantly cuts stopping distances in an emergency, by applying braking more quickly and precisely
Lower maintenance cost, higher reliability – the virtually maintenance-free hybrid storage module is located at the back of the roof on each single deck bus. Using innovative 48-volt technology, no change or service in maintenance is required.

Transdev’s hybrid buses for its FLYER network will continue to roll out in the coming weeks until all 15 new vehicles are in service.

The bus firm’s investment comes just days after the newly extended terminal building at Leeds Bradford Airport opened to customers for the first time.

The expansion has added around 40 percent more space in customer areas, with three new boarding gates plus a new immigration area, baggage collection hall, food and drink outlets and 83 percent more seating.

Work has already begun on a full refurbishment of the existing terminal building and a new security hall. Leeds Bradford Airport says the project has the potential to create 1,500 new jobs at the Airport, and 4,000 more indirectly, by 2030.

Transdev’s FLYER network operates under a three-way partnership between the bus operator, Leeds Bradford Airport and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

As of July 1, 2025, Transdev has officially taken over the operation of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) ACCESS Paratransit service. This new partnership highlights Transdev’s ongoing commitment to accessible transportation solutions across North America.

The ACCESS service is designed to support individuals with disabilities —whether physical, visual, or cognitive — who are unable to use standard public transit options like buses or light rail. The service mirrors VTA’s fixed-route network in both coverage and hours, offering around 2,000 rides daily. The fleet includes a mix of cutaway vans, minivans, sedans, and taxis, all with accessible options available.

In addition to managing daily transit operations, Transdev North America is also responsible for overseeing the ADA Paratransit Eligibility Certification process. This ensures that those who require the service are evaluated fairly and efficiently.

This contract represents another step in Transdev’s mission to provide inclusive, equitable mobility solutions that empower people to move freely and independently.

It’s the tightest squeeze in Yorkshire, but Transdev bus driver Wayne Moody has proved that you can get a bus through it!

The historic Bolton Abbey stone arch measures just 9 feet 5 inches wide, with a headroom of only 10 feet 9 inches – and photos of Wayne calmly guiding his bus through the gap are now a viral sensation online, with over 6,000 likes and counting on Facebook.

The compact challenge is part of Transdev’s Dalesbus 74 route, which runs on Saturdays all year round from York, Harrogate, Otley and Ilkley to Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales, taking in beautiful Bolton Abbey along the way.

And as the route nears Bolton Abbey, it passes through the largest of three arches in an 18th century stone aqueduct wall, a grade II listed structure and one of the most photographed landmarks in the Dales.

Built in 1720, the Bolton Abbey arch has always been a hair-raising experience for bus and coach drivers, but York-based Transdev driver Wayne takes it all in his stride – even nonchalantly leaning an elbow out of his cab window moments before passing through the gap with millimetres to spare.

Two subsidiaries of the Transdev Group, Germany's largest private mobility provider, have now been awarded contracts in tenders for the operation of local rail passenger transport networks (SPNV) on which Transdev trains were already in service. Both NordWestBahn and Bayerische Regiobahn were able to defend their existing business and secure the future operation of the Weser-Ems network in western Lower Saxony and the Rosenheim E-Netz in southern Bavaria.

NordWestBahn will operate trains on the Weser-Ems network between Osnabrück, Bremen, Wilhelmshaven, and Esens for another nine years starting with the timetable change in December 2026, after the company was awarded the contract by the Lower Saxony Regional Transport Authority. NordWestBahn has been operating the network since November 5, 2000, and thus for almost 25 years.

The new transport contract, covering around 4.3 million train kilometers per year, will take effect in December 2026 and run until 2035. An extension until 2037 is possible. Service expansions on the network will only be possible after the infrastructure has been modernized. The Weser-Ems network comprises the three lines RE 18 Osnabrück – Wilhelmshaven, RB 58 Osnabrück – Bremen, and RB 59 Wilhelmshaven – Esens. The Alstom LINT vehicles from the Lower Saxony pool will continue to be used and will be replaced by newer vehicles during the course of the contract.

In southern Germany, Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) has won the latest tender for the Rosenheimer Kreuz electric network and will thus be able to continue operating the routes from Munich to the Austrian border at Salzburg and Kufstein until at least 2043. This was announced by the Bavarian Railway Company (BEG), which plans, finances, and controls regional and suburban rail transport in Bavaria on behalf of the Bavarian Ministry of Transport.

The network, which BRB has been operating since December 2013, comprises the three lines RE 5 Munich – Rosenheim – Salzburg, RB 54 Munich – Rosenheim – Kufstein and RB 58 Munich – Holzkirchen – Rosenheim. The new transport contract will start when the timetable changes in December 2029. The contract will run for at least another 14 years until December 2043. The 35 Stadler FLIRT 3 electric railcars will continue to be used and are to be redesigned.

BRB currently transports around 17 million passengers per year on the Rosenheim E-Netz, which covers 260 kilometers. With around 4.9 million train kilometers per year, it is the largest of the five networks operated by BRB in Bavaria. BRB currently employs around 850 people in Bavaria.

Transdev North America has reaffirmed its commitment to the Town of Winter Park, Colorado, by securing a renewed multi-year agreement to operate "The Lift"—the town’s free public transit system. This new contract spans three years, with the possibility of two additional one-year extensions, continuing a successful collaboration that has helped shape transportation in this unique alpine destination.

Tailored Transit for a Seasonal Destination

Winter Park, a small town with around 1,200 permanent residents, experiences a dramatic population surge during ski season, often welcoming over 15,000 visitors daily. To meet this demand, The Lift operates 11 fixed routes and scales its workforce from 13 to 44 drivers during peak periods. Transdev also partners with Denver’s Regional Transportation District (RTD) to supplement staffing, while maintaining a focus on local recruitment.

Comprehensive and Accessible Service

The Lift connects key areas across the Fraser Valley, including Winter Park, Fraser, Granby, Tabernash, and Winter Park Resort. It offers both fixed-route and paratransit services, ensuring accessibility for all riders. The paratransit network specifically serves Winter Park, Fraser, and parts of unincorporated Grand County.

Currently, the fleet includes 24 fixed-route buses and 3 paratransit vehicles. In a move toward sustainability, the town is introducing two new Gillig electric buses. Transdev is supporting this transition with infrastructure upgrades and specialized training for mountain and winter conditions.

Award-Winning Performance and Growing Ridership

In 2024, The Lift surpassed 500,000 rides—exceeding expectations and earning the “Resort Agency of the Year” award from the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies (CASTA). Charles McCarthy, Transit Manager for Winter Park, praised Transdev’s role in expanding and improving the service area, noting that the partnership continues to exceed community goals.

Transdev and the St. Patrick's Athletic FC Schools Partnership

Transdev Ireland, operator and maintainer of Luas, is proud to support the “Saints & Scholars” programme alongside St Patrick’s Athletic FC.

The participating schools are close to both Richmond Park – the home of St. Patrick’s Athletic FC, and the Luas Red Line. We are proud support the delivery of this successful programme and building a positive relationship with young people in the area.

Inchicore School Cup Tournament

On Wednesday 28 May and Thursday 29 May, St. Patrick’s Athletic FC, supported by Transdev, hosted their annual Inchicore School Cup which included the participating schools from the “Saints & Scholars” programme.

Over the two-day tournament, students, teachers, and parents filled the stadium, cheering on the students as they battled it out on the pitch for the winning title. It was all smiles and laughter throughout the day; the atmosphere was electric.

The students were presented with medals for their participation, with prizes presented to each player of the match.

Transdev has been awarded a new contract to manage and maintain public transportation services for Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST), beginning July 1, 2025. This partnership covers a portion of MST’s fixed-route services and the entirety of its paratransit operations across Monterey County.

Spanning a service area of 163 square miles, MST operates a fleet of 131 vehicles that provide vital connections to employment, education, healthcare, and other essential destinations. The five-year agreement marks a strategic step forward in enhancing mobility throughout the Monterey Peninsula and Salinas Valley.

To support MST’s goals, Transdev plans to introduce advanced scheduling and dispatching technologies aimed at improving efficiency and service quality, particularly for paratransit users. Additionally, a subcontractor will assist with longer-distance trips, allowing MST vehicles to focus on shorter, high-frequency routes with greater passenger demand.

This initiative underscores Transdev’s dedication to delivering sustainable and forward-thinking transit solutions that enhance everyday life for riders throughout Monterey County.

An eco-responsible train made in France

The fleet of 16 trainsets is manufactured by Alstom at its Crespin site in Hauts-de-France, with the “Origine France Garantie” label. The purchase of the trainsets was paid for by the Region for some EUR 250 million. Each 110-meter trainset accommodates 400 seated passengers, and up to 730 in double-set configuration. The trains are powered by 100% green electricity.

To ensure their maintenance, a 2,000 m² site has been built in Nice by NGE group, in an eco-responsible approach, financed for some EUR 40 million euros by the Région Sud. It will enable high-quality maintenance and maximum availability of rolling stock, essential to the promised 97.5% regularity. The maintenance and the trainsets have been financed up to EUR 130 million by the Banque des Territoires.

Today marks a historic milestone: we are officially launching the opening of our regional trains to competition. We are the first region in France to have opened up our regional trains to competition. This project embodies our determination to offer a more ambitious public service, with double the number of trains on this route and unchanged fares, which will be reduced by 20% from July 1, 2025. We are offering trains that are more reliable and more sustainable, always at the service of passengers.

Renaud MUSELIER, President of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, President Delegate of Régions de France.

By entrusting Transdev with the management of this line, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region is giving us the opportunity to demonstrate what we do best: bringing people and regions closer together by delivering a reliable, comfortable and humane transport service. With over 25 years of rail expertise and know-how developed in Germany, Sweden and even New Zealand, our teams are ready and proud to be part of this historic change.

Thierry MALLET, Chairman and CEO of Transdev.
