Interurban rail and regional trains attract more and more passengers
in search of convenient and environmentally friendly means
of transport.
Sprawling metropolitan areas require rapid rail transit for commuters eager to save time, energy and money.

RATP Group’s expertise in rail systems includes experience in historic and dense metropolitan areas (Athens, Paris...), regional express links with speeds of up to 160 km/hour (the Pretoria to Johannesburg Gautrain project) as well as regional DMU rail services. Ratp Dev offers its second to none expertise at operating and maintaining complex systems to transport authorities and customers all over the world.

Our wide experience and proven efficiency gives us a unique ability to understand and predict the long-term consequences of design choices for all kinds of rail systems.

With the Gautrain Johannesburg/Pretoria Rapid Rail Link project, Ratp Dev is part of the most ambitious PPP (Private Public Partnership) undertaken in Southern Africa and the largest rail infrastructure project under construction on the continent.

Public transport around the world must adapt to the ever-increasing use of their networks with continuous upgrading and constant extensions.
Already one the busiest interurban rail lines in the World,
RER A must now transport one million passengers, 150 days
a year. Managed by RATP, the hub station “Chatelet-les-Halles” at the historic center of Paris has the highest passenger density in Europe.
An ambitious multi-year € 2.5 billion investment program for state-of-the-art double-deck railcars will enable RATP to cope with the rising success of this backbone of the Paris regional network.
