Now, with Voyago, Transdev Canada represents a combined turnover of €126 million, an increase of 54% compared to its 2018 activity, which employs 2,600 people in Canada (Quebec, Ontario) and completes some 36 million annual passenger trips. In 2018, Transdev generated revenues of €1.2 billion in North America, of which more than €1 billion was in the United States of America.
This acquisition is part of Transdev group's strategy to refocus on the Business to Government (B2G) market - which already accounts for more than 89% of its €6.9 billion 2018 turnover - and the B2B market.
