RATP Expertises, engineering solutions for buses
RATP Expertises was created to support transport authorities in designing and evolving their bus networks. Drawing on over 75 years of operational experience, the subsidiary reinforces RATP Group’s activities.
Our ambition is to deliver high‑performance, sustainable public transport that meets the challenges of today and tomorrow, always in the public interest.
Areas of activity
Addressing transport authorities’ challenges
As a transport authority, you face many challenges: developing inclusive and sustainable mobility solutions, improving the financial and environmental performance of local transport services, optimising network operations through new technologies, and redesigning multimodal transport hubs, among others.
Our experts are here to help you succeed, both in France and abroad. We provide integrated engineering solutions covering the entire bus lifecycle: vehicles, depots, infrastructure, and supervision.
Our areas of expertise
Our areas of expertise
Transport studies and projects
Bus network restructuring studies, service planning and design, bus line development projects – BRT, autonomous vehicles, and multimodal transport hubs.
Fleet energy transition
Energy transition programmes and implementation works (electric, natural gas, and hydrogen), supervision and Smartcharging, photovoltaic systems, and climate change adaptation.
Supervision systems
