Securing a Multi-Operator Transition in Public Transport

A major French urban network moved from a single-operator model to a multi-lot network with several operators and perimeters.

The Challenge

A major French urban network moved from a single-operator model to a multi-lot network (several operators, several perimeters). On paper, everything is framed by the contracts. In the field, the stakes were high and the task complex: making the interfaces between operators work daily, from day one. The objective was to translate contractual commitments into operational, high-performing procedures; build and steer the inter-operator interface system (scope: customer relations and transport revenue management); steer operational performance; and secure the transition.

The Methodology

In 6 months, our teams:

  • Analyzed a large contractual corpus (annexes, briefs, attachments) to identify key commitments, risk areas and contractual practices to secure
  • Contributed to drafting around twenty interfaces, including 5 in the lead role, plus dozens of inter-operator operational protocols
  • Ran workshops with subject-matter experts to formalize and stabilize a first version of the interfaces
  • Set the KPIs that will steer the performance of each process
  • Structured and had interface contracts validated in inter-operator governance (with the organizing authority)
  • Built and steered the transition plan to guarantee continuity on 01/01/2025

The Results

A clear, shared and actionable interface framework, with ready-to-use protocols and a secured transition. In large mobility projects, performance rides on the quality of interfaces, the clarity of responsibilities and the discipline of execution.
