Multimodal
At Transdev, we make your daily journeys easier by designing sustainable, accessible, and connected mobility solutions.
Our ambition
To make every trip simpler, smoother, and more responsible through efficient interconnection between transport solutions. This multimodal approach delivers reliable, fast, and consistent journeys, serving both communities and travelers.
One journey, several modes
- The principle: coordinating every mode within unified offers, from the first to the last mile.
- Modes combined: buses and express coaches feeding rail hubs, active mobility, carpooling, tourist and suburban routes.
- Payment: mobile ticketing, SMS tickets and mobility accounts for simplified access.
- Network coverage: continuity between urban, suburban and rural areas.
- Environmental effect: less reliance on private cars, supported by electric, CNG and hydrogen solutions.
Connecting Communities Through Diverse Offers
Multimodality is built on a variety of services designed to meet every need: Bus and express coach lines ensuring speed and access to major rail hubs ; Development of active mobility and carpooling; Tourist and suburban routes equipped to encourage interconnections.
These services create a coherent network linking urban, suburban, and rural areas, making transfers and access to services easier.
Driving the Ecological Transition
Multimodality is a key lever for reducing emissions:
- Promoting public transport use to limit reliance on private cars
- Deploying low-carbon solutions (electric, hydrogen, CNG) and modernizing infrastructure
Integrating Active and Shared Mobility
Multimodality also relies on integrating active and shared modes:
- Bike carriage on buses or trains thanks to innovative equipment
- Structured carpooling integrated into urban and regional networks to complement existing lines and improve access to public transport
Leveraging Digital Tools
Innovative digital solutions are at the heart of intermodal development:
- Multimodal route planning and real-time information
- Integrated and simplified payment via mobile ticketing and SMS ticketsCoordination of all modes within unified offers, such as mobility accounts or local apps
These services create a seamless experience from the first to the last mile.

FAQ
What is a multimodal transport solution?
A multimodal solution coordinates several modes of transport within a single unified offer, so that a passenger can combine bus, train, light rail, cycling or carpooling on one journey. The aim is a continuous trip from first to last mile, with no break in information or ticketing.
What is the difference between multimodality and intermodality?
Multimodality describes the coexistence of several transport modes across a territory. Intermodality refers to combining them within a single journey: taking a bus, then a train, to reach one destination. The first describes the offer, the second describes how passengers actually travel.
How does Transdev make interchange between modes easier?
Transdev coordinates modes within unified offers such as mobility accounts and local applications, and simplifies access through mobile ticketing and SMS tickets. Information and payment follow the passenger from one mode to the next.
Where does Transdev deliver multimodal services?
Transdev runs multimodal networks in several countries, notably in Sweden, where journeys in Stockholm combine buses, light rail and ferries, and in Portugal in Covilhã, where electric buses and e-bikes work alongside connected infrastructure.
