2021 – Activity and sustainable development report

In the highly competitive London environment, our leadership in electrification gives real meaning to our business. London is known for its dense traffic and periods of severe pollution. I am very happy to help improve the quality of life of Londoners. The quicker we progress towards clean transport, the better it will be for the health of our passengers and our teams. Since 2018, we have been working to meet Transport for London’s target of zero emissions from public transport by 2034, drawing on the experience of our parent company with the Bus2025 programme in the Paris region. In three years, we have already converted more than a quarter of our bus fleet to electric and transformed very old bus depots into state-of-the-art hubs to accommodate several hundred electric buses by the end of 2022. These changes quickly transform daily life: less noise, less pollution, improvement for the climate.

But this is not enough if you want to remain the best. In public transport, we don’t have the luxury of time: each of our decisions has an immediate impact on the daily lives of our passengers. Serving them well means always doing better, every day, ironing out every problem, controlling performance down to the smallest detail. Today, my teams face new transformations and new challenges. Six depots are being converted to electric by the end of 2022. And through the joint venture with Tower Transit, which resulted in RATP Dev Transit London, we are even better equipped and more motivated than ever to make a difference!
