‘Thinking Like a Passenger’
Our services are part of the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of Australians on their journeys to and from work, school, university, shops, cafes, and even the beach.
We strive to make public transport the first choice for our customers, whatever their reason to travel. It is crucial to us that every single unique customer feels that our service is specially designed for them.
We developed our Thinking Like a Passenger philosophy to set us apart from our competitors, and it revolutionises the customer experience. It is structured around three main areas;

- We develop the mobility of tomorrow together with local communities and public transport authorities

Ensuring Zero Harm
Zero harm is the bedrock of our business. It means a work environment that supports and promotes the health and safety of our people, our passengers and the community while minimising the impact on the environment. Keolis Downer believes that all of our people and passengers have a right to arrive home safely every day.
Keolis Downer also strives to leave a positive legacy, including through;
- Customer experience
- Staff safety
- Quality infrastructure
- Positive and engaging stakeholder relations
- Improvements to the communities we work
- Workforce diversity
And above and beyond ensuring no harm occurs to our people, our customers and our community, we are focused on sustainable outcomes.
The best proof of our legacy will be an ever-increasing number of customers choosing to use our services because they are safe, meet their transport needs and are delivered in commercially and environmentally sustainable ways.
