Urban lines in the heardt of cities
The urban lines operated by Transdev ensure smooth and connected mobility in metropolitan areas. Thanks to close partnerships with mobility authorities, we offer high-performance networks that integrate real-time services via digital applications and facilitate multimodal travel between buses, trams, bicycles, and trains.
These lines are designed to improve the daily lives of users, reduce urban congestion, and promote social inclusion.
Intercity lines to connect regions
Transdev's intercity lines play an essential role in territorial cohesion. They provide efficient connections between rural and suburban areas and business hubs, while ensuring:
- Fast and safe connections between cities and the countryside
- Complementarity with rail and urban networks
- Alternative fuel vehicles (HVO, BioNGV) for greener mobility
We operate these lines in many regions, with services tailored to local needs: school transport, company shuttles, tourist services, and on-demand services.

OTHER EXPERTISE
Frequently asked questions
What bus and coach services does Transdev operate?
Transdev designs and operates urban and interurban road services for local authorities, transport authorities and private companies. The offer covers three families: city buses, bus rapid transit running on dedicated lanes, and coaches for intercity links, school transport and corporate shuttles.
What is the difference between an urban and an interurban bus route?
An urban route runs within a single built-up area, with closely spaced stops and high frequencies. An interurban route connects separate areas: towns, rural districts, suburban zones and business parks. It prioritises journey speed and interchange with rail and urban networks.
How is Transdev cutting emissions across its road networks?
Transdev runs vehicles on alternative fuels across its road networks, including HVO and bio-CNG, alongside battery-electric vehicles. The energy transition is planned with each transport authority, based on the charging or refuelling infrastructure available locally.
Are Transdev bus services accessible to passengers with reduced mobility?
Accessibility for all is one of the three priorities Transdev addresses with local authorities, alongside the energy transition and cost optimisation. It relies on the vehicles themselves, on stop design and on driver training. Transdev also runs dedicated services for passengers with reduced mobility.
How do bus routes connect with other modes of transport?
Urban routes operated by Transdev form part of multimodal networks: interchange with light rail, trains and cycling, supported by mobile apps and real-time information. The aim is a seamless journey from one mode to the next, and less congestion in city centres.
What specialised services does Transdev run on these routes?
Beyond scheduled routes, Transdev tailors its services to local needs: school transport, corporate shuttles, tourism services and on-demand transport. Each is built with the local authority or corporate client, based on the passenger flows and the operating hours to be covered.
