The Australian public transport market is RATP Dev’s new challenge. It has been on our radar for quite some time and our decision to enter the market was driven by the outstanding pipeline of public transport projects, with a particular focus on automatic and driverless metros, which is our core expertise as demonstrated both in our hometown Paris and overseas.
The ambition and investment at both Federal and State level for new public transport infrastructure in Australia is impressive and demonstrates a great appetite for even more liveable and environmentally friendly cities that rely on cutting edge public transport services that will benefit local communities. Our ambition is to provide world-class services delivered with a local touch thanks to our comprehensive stakeholder engagement.
In every region we operate, we bring the latest technologies, more than a century-long expertise, and look up to the local leaders to guide our mission and drive their own vision – towards a better tomorrow.
We work every day for better city living.
