Bus and Coach

Our expertise in bus and coach markets is extensive, and Transdev’s UK bus operations are representative of the Transdev approach to delivering high quality public transport services.

All three of the UK's major businesses in London, Bournemouth and Blazefield (across Yorkshire and Lancashire) deliver services that are award winning and continue to set the benchmark for quality and innovation. In each area, we have also demonstrated our ability to work closely with the local authority.

Key features of our bus and coach expertise both in the UK and further afield are:

  • Urban bus networks in the UK and overseas, where we continue to deliver sustainable modal shift and patronage growth.
  • Very high standards of operational achievement under contract to authorities in world-class networks such as in London where we work alongside Transport for London (TfL) to provide high quality urban bus operations.
  • High quality inter-urban routes such as the award winning '36' or 'Witch Way' in the UK, Limocar (Montreal-Sherbrooke) in Canada and 'VilaVil' between France and Luxembourg.
  • Integrated bus and tram/BRT systems with easy to use ticketing and interchange such as in Nantes, Nottingham and Montpellier.

We are also a renowned innovator, offering complementary services which improve customer satisfaction and help to stimulate travel.

  • Real time information at stops, on the web and via mobile phones.
  • Greener hybrid, natural gas and ethanol buses.
  • Electronic and mobile ticketing, including trials of smartcards capable of being immediately updated by the customer at home via a USB reader and using next generation Near Field Communication (NFC) mobile phone ticketing in Grenoble.
  • High quality vehicle interiors, such as our new urban vehicles in Bournemouth offering wood-effect flooring, next stop displays, full accessibility including larger buggy areas, industry leading legroom and sumptuous leather seats.

We also provide services to unusual and interesting markets such as coach transfers on behalf of EuroDisney, services to alpine ski resorts (including the 2009 Chambery world championships where we excelled as official transport partner) and private hire buses for weddings and events.
