TIL United Kingdom & European Union Bus Database and Market Insight

Bus operations continue to provide the majority of public transport journeys across Europe, so they are an integral part of any transport portfolio.

EU and domestic legislation are creating trends towards the out-sourcing of bus and tram operations.

When financial sponsors or transport groups are looking for opportunities in this sector, TIL can assist in their decision making with its database of UK and EU bus operations.

From this database we can provide

• Company history and backgrounds - previous owners, growth story, strategies, contracts, routes, commercial decisions
• Precedent transaction prices and financial and operational Key Performance Indicators [KPIs]
• KPIs for use in bus operations bids and contracting
• Company Financial and operational performance
• Historical Financial and operational KPIs
• Breakdown of fleet, split by age, type and manufacturer
• Management team background
• Passenger data
• Subsidy data

The database can also be used to calculate

• Historical cashflows – Breakdown of operating cashflows and total cashflows by year
• Future capital expenditure requirements
• Contract / route profitability
• Company valuations using various metrics
• Growth / decline trends
• Bid success rates
