JLiu15 Posted October 28, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2022 https://www.masstransitmag.com/management/article/21285284/transdev-to-acquire-first-transit It looks like Transdev will be acquiring First Transit. For those who may not know, they were already purchased by EQT about a year ago. This is the second time they've been sold in the past two years. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Will all First Transit operations and vehicles be transferred to Transdev, or will First Transit still operate in name, just that it's owned by Transdev (like it is now with First being owned by EQT). I'm mostly curious about what it means for university transit systems as they operate plenty of them (e.g. Rutgers, Emory, LSU, GSU, SCAD, UTK, Alabama, etc), mostly using ElDorado Axess/EZ Rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gonna be a hell of a transit and shuttle operator behemoth. First Transit is also very big in the UK (it started out as Badgerline in the city of Bristol); this is the French taking over the English. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
