🎊We are delighted to announce the official inauguration of the Riyadh Metro, the backbone of the capital city’s public transport system! 🎊 Riyadh’s network is currently the world’s largest public transportation infrastructure project.   Today’s event marks the culmination of a decade of construction, service design, operation trials, frontline staff training, and collaboration with our partners سابتكو | SAPTCO – at the service of our client, the Royal Commission for Riyadh City | الهيئة الملكية لمدينة الرياض.   As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s first-ever integrated transport system, the Riyadh Metro features six fully automated metro lines, 80 bus routes, three Bus Rapid Transit lines, Park & ride facilities, soon-to-come Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) service, and more. Its aim is nothing less than to transform the daily life of residents and visitors in the capital city, providing easier, faster, greener access to schools, hospitals, universities, shopping centers – as well as friends and families.🏙 Beyond convenience, the new network contributes to the realization of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the ambitious plans outlined by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) for a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious, and fast-growing city. 🌱 Thanks to our extensive expertise in opening and managing complex rail networks, RATP Dev is proud to be the operator of the Riyadh Metro’s blue and red lines, also known as lines 1 and 2, as well as the citywide bus network through our subsidiaries, CAMCO - Capital Metro Company - كامكو - شركة مترو العاصمة - كامكو- العاصمة شركة, and Public Transportation Company, in partnership with سابتكو | SAPTCO. The other metro lines are managed by The Flow Consortium.   Hiba Fares, CEO of RATP Dev, was in Riyadh today as His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud inaugurated officially the Riyadh Metro. We are proud to participate in this extraordinary, transformative project! RATPgroup   #RiyadhMetro #PublicTransport #RATPDev #UrbanMobility #SustainableTransport #GETTINGTHEREISCLOSER

Did you know? 🚍 The buses in Boulogne-sur-Mer on France's northern coast facilitate over 3.5 million journeys each year.   With 77% of stops accessible and 90% of buses equipped with ramps, the network is working to ensure everyone has equal access to essential destinations like schools, healthcare and businesses. It’s also looking ahead by testing hydrogen and electric buses to support a sustainable future! 🌿   🤝 The Marineo network, operated by RATP Dev for the Boulogne-sur-Mer conurbation, recently welcomed Jean Castex, CEO of RATPgroup, to engage with local teams and further discussions on sustainable urban mobility.   During his visit, Jean Castex was joined by Serge Reynaud, Director of RATP Dev France-Suisse, and together they met with Frédéric CUVILLIER, President of the Communauté d'Agglomération du Boulonnais and Mayor of Ville de Boulogne-sur-Mer, as well as Christian Fourcroy, Vice President of the Communauté d'Agglomération du Boulonnais.

We’re charting a bold new course for mobility in Saudi Arabia. 🌟🚆    This week, we participated in Saudi Rail in Riyadh, a key event that unites industry leaders shaping the future of Saudi Arabia’s urban rail network.   Abdeljabbar Ben Salem, Senior VP of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates at RATP Dev, led discussions on rail technology advancements and developing local expertise in the region. He shared how our expertise in public transport aligns with Vision 2030’s goals, focusing on transferring knowledge, attracting local talent and promoting inclusion in Saudi Arabia.     As part of Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia aims to increase the participation of local employees and businesses in its economy under a broader strategy for economic diversification and growth in key sectors such as transportation. We are thrilled to contribute to this vision through major public transportation projects.   💡 At CAMCO - Capital Metro Company - كامكو - شركة مترو العاصمة, our subsidiary established in partnership with سابتكو | SAPTCO, 70% of our workforce consists of local talent. We provide our employees with global travel opportunities, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in operating and maintaining transportation systems like the Paris Metro.   🎓 Attracting local talent involves creating opportunities for Saudis by offering customized training programs and collaborating with universities, making transportation a more accessible and exciting career path.     ♀️ Empowering women has also been a key achievement, with women now making up 36% of our metro workforce in Saudi Arabia, setting a new standard for inclusion.     Thank you to the organizers of Saudi Rail for hosting such an impactful event! Participating not only connected us with our partners and clients—it allowed us to demonstrate how our projects are driving innovation and fostering a skilled local workforce in Saudi Arabia’s transport sector. 👏     #RATPDev #SaudiRail #RailExpertise #Vision2030 #Localization #PublicTransport

What's defining the next generation of public transport?    Our recent work on automated metro systems is paving the way for Metro 2.0—a next-generation transit solution that places humans at the core of operations. ⚙️🔧👷♀️    At yesterday's Ville, Rail & Transports Conference, Louis Villié, managing director of ORA L15 South for the Grand Paris Express project, emphasized the value of humans in automated metro systems. The ORA consortium led by RATP Dev with Alstom and ComfortDelGro, will operate the 33-kilometer Line 15 South, connecting 16 stations and reshaping mobility in the Greater Paris region.     Louis Villié shared how our integrated design approach, which actively involves operators during the design phase, enhances operator efficiency and aligns metro systems with passenger needs. This approach is central to projects like the upcoming Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport. Similarly in Serbia we are collaborating with the city of Belgrade to design its future automated metro network.    He also stressed the importance of modernizing existing networks to meet evolving demands, citing Paris’s Metro Line 14 as a prime example. Originally launched in 1998 as the world’s first fully automated metro, it recently doubled in length to 28 kilometers and its automatic control system was completely renewed ahead of the 2024 Paris Games.   Metro 2.0 is redefining public transport by integrating automation with human-centered design. By combining digital tools with human presence, we can make sure to meet the needs of all passengers, including the disabled, the disconnected, and the foreigner and ensuring a metro network resolutely inclusive.🚆✨   #VRTConference #AutomatedMetros #PublicTransport #MetroDesign #RATPDev
