Overview

Keolis creates mobility networks that make cities easier to move through and more enjoyable to live in. In Australia and New Zealand, we work with public transport authorities to improve everyday journeys by simplifying connections, enhancing reliability and adapting networks as communities grow and change.

Our multimodal capability enables us to integrate rail, light rail, bus, on‑demand and active transport into seamless journeys that make public transport a natural first choice.

Our History

Keolis Australia and New Zealand has been part of the mobility landscape for more than 15 years, enabling over 100 million journeys each year through a diverse mix of urban and regional networks.

With more than 3,500 employees across five states, we operate some of the country’s most complex and fast‑growing transport systems.

Our networks include:

  • Gold Coast: G:link light rail

  • Newcastle: integrated light rail, bus and ferry

Our Purpose and Principles 

Our purpose is to support governments and public transport authorities to deliver mobility systems that are safe, sustainable and future‑ready. ‘Think Like a Passenger’ guides how we design and operate services - using data, technology and community insight to create networks that are intuitive, inclusive and easy to navigate.

We focus on integration, using digital innovation and human-centred design to make networks simpler and more connected. Zero Harm is central to how we work, supported by strong safety, quality and environmental frameworks. Sustainability is embedded in every stage of planning and delivery, accelerating the shift to low and zero‑emission mobility.

The Right Choice

Our ambition is to be the partner of choice for public transport authorities.

We achieve this by designing networks around people, integrating services for simplicity and accessibility, and upholding an unwavering commitment to safety, sustainability and a passenger‑first mindset. Through collaboration and innovation, we support thriving communities and more liveable cities.
