Arriva is one of the largest private sector providers of passenger transport in mainland Europe, providing more than one billion passenger journeys every year.
We provide transport services, including buses, trains, commuter coaches and water buses, in 10 European countries: Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
Arriva is the largest private bus operator in Italy and Denmark and is one of the top three bus operators in the UK.
A strong trading performance based on growth and control of costs in our UK Bus division delivered an increase of 16 per cent in operating profit in 2007.
With Arriva Trains Wales and CrossCountry, Arriva is now established as a leading UK rail operator.
Revenue growth in mainland Europe increased by 23 per cent* in 2007, and the group is well on the way to doubling 2006 mainland Europe revenue by 2011.
