ComfortDelGro tie-up with French firm RATP Dev to run Copenhagen Metro from Sept 2027
The contract will run for 12 years, with an option to extend it for another three years
ComfortDelGro, a Singapore-based transport company, has entered into a 12-year contract to operate and maintain the Copenhagen Metro system, starting from September 2027. The agreement, valued at 17 billion Danish kroner (approximately US$2.7 billion), also includes an option to extend for three additional years. Copenhagen Metro, the capital city's fully automated rapid transit system, stretches 43 kilometers across 44 stations and boasts the distinction of being one of only three metro lines globally that operate 24/7.
In 2025, the system saw its highest annual ridership yet, with 135 million passengers and an impressive 99.3% operational reliability, with trains running as frequently as every 90 seconds during peak hours. The contract was awarded to a consortium formed by ComfortDelGro and French transport company RATP Dev, which beat out two other bidders based on an overall assessment of price and quality.
Metroselskabet, which oversees the development, construction, and operation of Copenhagen's metro system, chose the KBH Metro Partner for their expertise in ensuring robust daily operations and establishing a foundation for renewal projects on two of the older lines. CDG has a history of successful metro operations, previously operating Paris' Line 15 and Singapore's Jurong Region Line, marking the third such partnership for the company.
