    Countdown to Launch of France's First Urban Cable

    International Edition – 14 November 2016 Countdown to launch of France’s first urban cable car On Saturday 19 November, Keolis will launch France’s first urban cable car in the city of Brest in north-west Brittany. The system features the vertical crossing of cabins – a world first – and will link the left bank station, situated on a hill above the naval base, to the right bank station located inside the Ateliers des Capucins. The new Capucins eco-district, structured around former French Navy workshops, will house shops and restaurants as well as cultural and leisure facilities. The cable car is operated automatically and the system is supervised by Keolis Brest teams at the Bibus network control room. The two, 60-passenger cabins provide breath-taking views of the harbour during the three- minute crossing over the river Penfeld. This new, economical and environmentally-friendly urban transport mode will be integrated into the city’s existing public transport network, and passengers can access the tram, bus and cable car with a single Bibus transport ticket.

Do you agree with how we propose to YES NO calculate the amounts to be devolved? If not, what alternative arrangements would you suggest should be used? Please explain your reasons and add any additional comments you wish to make : We support the general principle that the initial amount devolved should be the amount paid to operators in the current financial year for supported services operating within the relevant Local Transport Authority area. However: • We believe that all funded services need to be brought into the calculation, not just those that have been procured by tender. A consistent approach needs to be taken to services which operate on a part- commercial/part-supported basis, including where individual journeys are supported in part, for example through a de-minimis payment to cover a diversion of an otherwise commercial journey.

    Keolis Downer Awarded the Transport Contract in Newcastle

    PRESS RELEASE Paris, 12 December 2016 Keolis Downer awarded the first multimodal transport contract in Newcastle, Australia Keolis’ Australian subsidiary, Keolis Downer, has been awarded a 10 year contract to operate and maintain a new integrated public transport system in Newcastle. The contract will generate total revenue of around €312 million (AU$450 million) and will start in July 2017. This is the first multimodal contract to be tendered to the private sector in Australia and includes operations and maintenance for buses, ferries and a new light rail system. Through this new contract Keolis strengthens its presence in Australia and its position as a leading multimodal operator. Keolis Downer today welcomes the New South Wales (NSW) Government’s announcement that it has been awarded a 10 year contract with Transport for NSW to operate an integrated public transport system for the city of Newcastle, located north of Sydney (360,000 inhabitants). A first in Australia Newcastle Transport is the first multimodal transport system to be contracted to a private operator in Australia and integrates network planning and design, with the operation and maintenance of the city’s buses, ferries, future light rail (in 2019) and interchange. This integrated transport solution will deliver better services for residents and visitors and will play an important role in the revitalisation of the city. Keolis Downer will use its unique expertise in network design to build a transport offer that meets the local community’s needs. This will encourage people to use public transport, connect them to business areas and reduce the use of individual cars.
  • Dead Mileage and Contract Study

    Dead Mileage and Contract Study

    Board 19.5.09 Secretariat Memorandum Agenda Item 8 b) LTW 307 Author: Tim Bellenger ‘Dead mileage’ and contracting arrangements for the London bus network. 1 Purpose of report 1.1. To report to members the conclusions of the report commissioned by London TravelWatch from JMP consultants on the potential for running ‘dead’ or out of service mileage in passenger service and inform London TravelWatch’s response to the review by Transport for London (TfL) of its procurement and operating practices in relation to the bus network. 2 Recommendations 2.1. Members are recommended to accept the consultants recommendations in relation to ‘out of service’ mileage that a ‘Value for Money’ test should be adopted by TfL when implementing bus contracts in order to secure additional passenger benefits. 2.2. Members are recommended to accept the consultants’ recommendation that in relation to bus contract procurement and operating practices that:- 2.2.1. The use of net cost tendering is not suited to the intensive nature of the London bus network, because of the difficulties in making accurate revenue projections on a route by route basis, and that there is no clear passenger benefit from reintroducing this method of tendering. 2.2.2. TfL should continue to encourage smaller operators to enter the contracted bus market in London, particularly on low frequency local routes where a smaller operator may be able to give added value in terms of personal service to the passenger. 2.2.3. The quality of ‘back office’ systems such as iBus, bus lane enforcement cameras, ticketing systems and closed circuit television within vehicles has an impact on passengers.
