What if every woman could travel confidently in our cities? 🚶♀️🌟     Last Thursday, at the Women's Forum for the Economy & Society in Paris, our CEO, Hiba Fares, shared powerful insights on how RATP Dev is working to make public transport networks safer and more inclusive for women around the world.  🔍 Women make up the majority of public transport users and Hiba emphasized our commitment to making them feel safe on our networks. Unfortunately, many women do not feel as secure as men do, highlighting a significant gap in perceptions of safety. To address this issue, RATP Dev is taking concrete action to improve the feeling of security.      Here are some of the initiatives that we have taken:   🔹 In Paris, we have created dedicated zones in major metro stations like Auber to help passengers feel safer, while expanding this initiative along tram lines in partnership with the street safety app UMAY.   🔹 In Cairo, we’ve introduced women-only train cars positioned centrally on platforms for easy boarding, as well as women-only ticket counters to enhance security.   🔹 Our #StandUp campaign with L'Oréal and Fondation des Femmes equips passengers and staff with practical tools through the 5D strategy (Direct, Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay) to intervene in cases of harassment.     🔹 Wherever we operate, we actively engage with local associations to identify and fix areas in stations that feel unsafe, such as dimly lit corridors or blind spots, ensuring simple, effective improvements that enhance security.   🔹 In cities across France, we are expanding stop-on-demand services for buses at night, allowing passengers to get off closer to their destination and reducing the risks of walking long distances in the dark. Over 90% of passengers find this service valuable.      Public transport is more than just a mobility solution; it’s a key driver of social inclusion and gender equity. By actively addressing perceived insecurities, we can make a big difference by empowering women and enhancing their freedom in the city.       #WFGM24 #WomensForum #Leadership #GlobalChange #Paris2024  #FemaleEmpowerment

What can make rail the most attractive way to travel? 🚄✨   At the Australasian Railway Association (ARA) High Speed Rail Conference, Denis Masure, General Manager of RATP Dev Australia, shared insights on just that — along with some personal stories that brought the topic to life.   🚉 Denis highlighted key ways to elevate the rail experience: frequent departures, flexible tickets and fast, hassle-free boarding. Imagine catching your train just minutes before it leaves, without the hassle of long security lines or complicated boarding processes. The goal is to make transport simpler and more convenient!   💼 During the panel, Denis also reflected on his 20 years in the rail industry, sharing memorable moments from his career with RATP Dev, as well as how his love for trains began as a child. His passion for rail has clearly shaped his journey.   At RATP Dev, we're all about enhancing passenger experiences on trains, metros, buses and more. We believe that public transport has the power to transform communities worldwide.   #Rail #PublicTransport #PassengerExperience #RATPDev

How can mass transit projects positively impact developing communities in South Africa? 🌍   Mehdi Sinaceur, RATP Dev's Deputy CEO, addressed this idea at the Business Forum Southern Africa & Indian Ocean in a panel discussion with Henri Poupart-Lafarge, CEO of Alstom, Busisiwe Mavuso BCompt, FCCA, MBL, MPhil, CEO of Business Leadership South Africa, and Philippe Labonne, CEO of Africa Global Logistics.   During the conversation, Mehdi outlined how RATP Dev's presence in South Africa has helped communities build local skills over the past 15 years. “We believe that making tangible contributions to education and training is the best way we can bridge inequality and improve the quality of life in our communities,” he explained.   In a separate talk during the Southern Business Forum, Mehdi shared his ideas about the unique challenges and opportunities in southern Africa, emphasizing the need for a partnership-based perspective: “Our approach is to localize our global expertise, in concert with our partners, to achieve regional development, project delivery and operational performance, while maximizing passenger comfort.”    Through our subsidiary Bombela Operating Company (PTY) LTD, we operate the high-speed Gautrain system, delivering more than 131 million passenger trips since 2010. It has created over 500 permanent jobs and currently has a workforce that is 50% female, with women making up 70% of its executive committee. 🚅 #SouthernAfricaBusinessForum #SouthAfricaTransport #Gautrain #GenderDiversity

A decade of success in the Philippines 🚆🌏 We are proud to mark ten years of collaboration with Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC), whom we support in the technical and operation aspects of the Light Rail Transit Line 1.

Henri Pottier, CEO Asia-Pacific for RATP Dev said: “As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had with LRMC. Our shared commitment to improving public transportation in Manila has been the cornerstone of our success.

Lim, President and CEO of LRMC, added: “The partnership between LRMC and RATP Dev has been valuable in enabling us to achieve our goal of upgrading the LRT-1 service through the years. RATP Dev has supported LRMC in both technical and operational aspects of LRT-1, ensuring that our maintenance and operational readiness programs are in place and effectively implemented when we operate Phase 1 of Cavite Extension later this year.” We are committed to supporting Manila’s continuing development and currently serve as a technical advisor for the Cavite Extension project, which will extend the current line by approximately 11.7 km – further boosting connectivity in the Manila area. ✨ #RATPDev #Philippines #Manila #PublicTransport #UrbanRail
