Go-Ahead expands in Sweden

Go-Ahead has continued its growth in Sweden through the acquisition of Trossö Buss.

Trossö Buss is a high-quality operator with strong connections to the local community in southern Sweden and a focus on delivering the best possible customer service. They offer local school bus services, rail replacement services 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.

As well as bus services in Sweden, Go-Ahead will also start operating Stockholm’s Metro network later this year, as part of the largest public transport contract in continental Europe, serving 350 million passengers annually. 

Miguel Parras, Group Chief Executive at the Go-Ahead Group, 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.”

Magnus and Elisabeth Petersson, Trossö Buss added: “We have operated Trossö Buss for 19 years and developed it to what it is today, from 4 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.”
