Keolis acquires bus services in Canada
Thanks to the acquisitions of two business divisions of Pacific Western Transportation providing urban transport services as well as intercity transport services, our subsidiary is strengthening its presence in North America. And doubling its size in Canada.
An agreement with a leading bus transport company
Keolis has signed an agreement with Student Transportation of America (STA) to acquire the Transit and Motorcoach business divisions of its subsidiary Pacific Western Transportation Ltd (PWT). This Calgary-based Canadian passenger transport company operates buses in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and the Yukon.
With this acquisition, Keolis strengthens its presence in North America and becomes a leading operator of urban transport, intercity buses and mobility on demand in Western Canada.
This is an important step in our development strategy, particularly in North America. It allows us to reinforce our presence in Canada and expand our expertise and services to new promising regions.
