Transport

Whether heavy rail, light rail, ferries, intelligent transport systems, or more, we are committed to delivering the best performing transport systems.

Building capacity and delivering world leading transport systems

Serco has global expertise in the design, setting up, operation, and maintenance of heavy rail, metro, light rail, ferry, road traffic, and cycle hire schemes across the globe – from the turnkey operation of the Dubai Tram which is the first fully wireless system in the world; to redefining a luxury experience on the Scottish Caledonian Sleeper.

We are also the largest non-government operator of civilian air traffic control in the world and offer a range of airside fire and rescue services.

We help governments to overcome urban congestion and maintain vital transport links. We manage complex transport programmes that deliver reliable performance, build future capacity, and keep citizens and economies moving.

Through a focus on the end-to-end passenger journey, delivery of operational excellence, and the application of intelligent systems and analytics, we are able to design and run more efficient transport services to deliver a better passenger experience. Serco operates some of the world’s best-performing transport networks.
