# Transport Transaction Advice

![Transport Transaction Advice](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/06/transport-transaction-advice.jpg)

**SYSTRA provides expert advice to support clients across a wide range of transactions and commercial deals. These most commonly involve buying or selling assets, or bidding for franchise and concession rights. However, our work also extends into support across a range of commercial arbitration and legal cases.**

Our work extends across the transport industry covering long distance and
commuter rail, urban transit (metro, bus and LRT) as well as inter-urban toll
roads, congestion charging schemes, tolled crossings and ferry services.

### Support for profitable transport investments

Funders, promoters and bidders looking to operate transport services need to
understand the current and future costs and revenues, and the potential risks
and opportunities in any purchase to help them develop successful bids and
proposals. Similarly infrastructure owners and rights holders must have an
excellent understanding of future revenue and cost streams to ensure they can
gain the best possible deal.

Whether buying or selling an asset or undertaking to operate franchises and
concessions to run a service, both parties need to understand and articulate how
much the transaction will cost, the resources involved, costs entailed and how
much revenue to gain the understanding of its net worth.

SYSTRA offers the necessary expertise and experience across commercial transport
transactions to enable clients to deliver winning bids and secure successful
sales. We have particular expertise in transport transactions at the interface
between public and private sectors, with experience in supporting both buyers
and sellers, across all transport modes.

**SYSTRA transport transaction advisory services support clients from project inception, throughout the bidding process and into post-bid business development.**

### Transport transaction advice from the specialists

Our experienced transport transaction advisors understand the costs and benefits
of both existing and new transport infrastructure, alongside the operational and
commercial challenges of each transport mode.

Our teams work in advisory capacities for governments, investors, operators and
regulators across the commercial space in Ireland and further afield, helping to
deliver a range of successful transactions in urban and inter-urban contexts
across rail, bus, ferry and highways operations. We have particular expertise in
advising on public private partnership (PPP) transactions. We also provide
advice and support on commercial negotiations and offer expert witness services
for transport clients.

### Transport forecasting and modelling

Our specialists help bidders to compile successful proposals, which may include
demonstrating how they will grow revenue and improve service quality, while
controlling costs through efficient operation and product, service and pricing
innovation. Bidders often need to show they have a robust plan for providing
sufficient transport capacity to meet demand, while improving service quality to
enhance customer satisfaction.

We have the expertise to develop and run forecasting models tailored to the
needs of each commercial opportunity. These could include revenue forecasting
models based on socio demographic change, fare models investigating new ticket
products, customer demand forecasts based around enhancing passenger
satisfaction and operating cost models based on likely changes in resources and
prices.

We ensure all models and data comply with appropriate quality assurance and best
practice requirements.
