Bus and BRT,
Specialist in high service level bus routes adapted to the city
By always adhering to the strictest industrial, human, and organizational standards, RATP Dev designs and implements high performance public transit offers for residents and local authorities.
Bus routes constitute the finely intermeshed network of urban mobility. Flexible by nature, they can be adapted to changes in the city and provide service in areas where other modes of transit don’t go. When they have dedicated lanes and priority at intersections, they become more reliable, faster, and more efficient. Buses ensure access to public transit everywhere, for all.
High service level bus routes combine the best of both worlds: the efficiency of a structured mode of transit and the flexibility of the bus. Fast, regular, and comfortable, they offer an effective solution for major arteries without the need for major infrastructure. They are a transition accelerator, capable of quickly transforming an urban corridor.
Our expertise in bus routes was forged in Paris, at the heart of one of the densest and most constrained urban environments in the world. Operating hundreds of bus routes, day and night, in a saturated public space constantly subject to unforeseeable events and a high degree of intermodal transit, has brought about a unique culture of real-time regulation, service continuity, and operational efficiency.
With RATP Dev, each transit offer is designed, and each network is run on the basis of a painstaking diagnostic of uses, local constraints, and public ambitions, whether we are working to serve a metropolis, a mid-size city, or intercity areas. Large-scale energy transition, rapid adaptation of the transit offer, integration with other modes of transit and operational excellence... Our teams contribute to the sustainable transformation of mobility, always mindful of local realities.
