SWEDEN Go-Ahead has continued its growth in Sweden through the acquisition of local operator Trossö Buss, which provides local school bus services, rail replacement and private coach hire. Trossö Buss will join Go-Ahead Sweden, previously known as Flexbuss, which has grown significantly by winning several new contracts recently and will also start operating Stockholm’s Metro network later this year.
Go-Ahead Group Chief Executive Miguel Parras said: “Since we started operating in Sweden just over two years ago, we have grown our business significantly, expanding our bus network and establishing ourselves as the future operators of Stockholm Metro. We’re delighted to welcome Trossö Buss to our business; they share our focus on delivering excellent customer service and help us continue the growth of our business to serve even more customers in Sweden.”
Owners of Trossö Buss Magnus and Elisabeth Petersson added: “We have operated Trossö Buss for 19 years and developed it to what it is today, from four to about 30 buses. It is now time to hand over the baton to Go-Ahead Sweden, who will be able to continue driving Trossö Buss to the next level.”
