Network Services – And More

Keolis Downer networks are more than just transport services. They are or contribute to urban renewal projects that bring lasting economic and social benefits to the communities they serve. We take the needs of our communities very seriously to ensure that we deliver the networks that locals want and that will boost engagement. We are also committed to developing short- and long-term employment opportunities for local contractors and industries. Sustainability is a yet another matter of Keolis Downer pride, and is built into the design, constructions and operation of all our networks.
