The Straits Times
|January 22, 2025
Move part of tie-up with French company RATP Dev for contract expected to begin in September 2027
A subsidiary of home-grown transport giant ComfortDelGro will bid to operate metro lines in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, in a tie-up with French transport company RATP Dev.
In a joint statement on Jan 21, the companies said a consortium comprising RATP Dev and ComfortDelGro Transit has been formed to bid for an operation and maintenance contract for the Copenhagen metro system.
The contract is expected to begin in September 2027 and a tender is expected to be called in June 2025.
This is the third time that the two companies have joined hands to bid to run a metro line.
In 2023, ComfortDelGro Transit won a contract to operate the southern sector of Paris' Line 15 for an initial term of six years as part of an international consortium with the state-owned RATP Dev and French train manufacturer Alstom.
