Arriva bus and rail services

Arriva is a prominent European public transport operator that provides bus, coach, train, tram, and waterbus services across several countries. Originally founded in the United Kingdom, the company became a major player in the deregulation of British transport before expanding its footprint throughout continental Europe.

Following a period of ownership by the German state-owned railway company Deutsche Bahn, Arriva was acquired by I Squared Capital, an independent global infrastructure investment manager. This transition marks a significant shift in its corporate structure, moving from state-related ownership back to private equity management. Today, Arriva continues to operate diverse transport networks, focusing on sustainable mobility and regional connectivity.
