RATP Dev Asia is a subsidiary of RATP Dev that operates public transport services in Asia.[1] It was previously the RATP Dev Transdev Asia (RDTA), a 50/50 joint venture owned by RATP Dev and Transdev until October 2020.
It was originally Veolia Transport RATP Asia (VTRA) and was formed in July 2009 between RATP Dev and Transdev's predecessor Veolia Transport, for an initial period of 20 years.[2] Upon creation, it absorbed all of Veolia Transport's operation companies and contracts in Asia, which included Veolia Transport Korea and Veolia Transport China Limited (VTCL).[2]
The joint venture was previously known by a variety of different names in the past (see section Company names). Its headquarters are in Hong Kong, at the Whitty Street Tram Depot, which is one of the depots of its wholly owned subsidiary Hong Kong Tramways.[3]
During its peak, RDTA operated in China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Philippines and India.[3][4] By 2020, Hong Kong Tramways and the Manila operations are the only remaining RDTA operations.[5] In October 2020, RATP Dev became the sole owner of RDTA.[6][7]
