Transport
Our expertise
In response to the drive by EU law, the French rail sector is gradually opening up to competition. Whereas rail freight transport has been liberalised since April 2006 and cross-border passenger travel since December 2009, domestic passenger travel has just been opened up to competition. As is the case in all network industries, this liberalisation trend, which required an independent regulator to be formed (currently the French Transport Regulatory Authority (ART)), has created issues relating to regulatory or competition matters (organisation and management of competitive operations and SNCF’s monopoly, network management methods, electricity supply management for traction current, etc.).
Magenta has solid expertise and industry knowledge of the sector and helps clients (rail companies or authorised candidates) deal with all issues arising in their operations.
