In a bus depot in Canada or on a tram network in northern France, the great transformations of our world – demographic shifts, climate change, technological disruption – are not abstract concepts. They are tangible, operational realities, day in, day out, for our teams, passengers and territories. Transdev, the mobility company, navigates this situation across the 19 countries it operates in.

In each episode of Transdev Forward, Laure-Anne Warlin, Head of Foresight, sits down with a Transdev colleague to explore one shared strategic challenge: How do you stay one step ahead in the world to come – and how can you keep anticipating despite instability and uncertainty? That is the question our guests will answer.

For mobility operators, the challenge is no longer just reducing their footprint, but also keeping services running in a changing environment. Operating across 19 countries in a wide range of climates, the Group has made adaptation an operational priority.


At Transdev Sydney Ferries, in Australia, William Paranihi sees this reality first-hand every day. As General Manager Safety & Assurance, he is responsible for ensuring the reliability of a maritime network directly exposed to the whims of the weather. In this episode of Transdev Forward, William tell us how his teams are preparing for this “new normal” – from evolving procedures and staff training to risk anticipation. The goal: keeping Sydney’s ferries on the water, come rain, wind — or 46 °C heat.
