ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited, in partnership with French public transport operator RATP Dev, has been awarded a contract to operate and maintain the Copenhagen Metro. The contract, valued at approximately S$3.4b, spans 12 years with an option to extend for an additional three years. Operations are set to commence in September 2027.
The Copenhagen Metro, a fully automated network, covers 43 kilometres across four lines and 44 stations. This marks ComfortDelGro’s second rail operation in Scandinavia, following their previous contract for the Stockholm Metro. The metro system, which carried a record 135 million passengers in 2025, is renowned for its high-capacity, driverless operations running 24/7.
ComfortDelGro’s Managing Director and Group CEO, Cheng Siak Kian, highlighted the significance of this achievement, stating, “This selection demonstrates how the rail expertise we have built in Singapore can be scaled into a repeatable model for international markets.” The collaboration with RATP Dev is the third of its kind, following successful projects in Paris and Singapore.
The contract supports Metroselskabet’s ambition to maintain a safe, reliable, and sustainable metro system as Copenhagen continues to grow. ComfortDelGro Chairman Mark Greaves emphasised the strategic importance of expanding their international public transport portfolio, noting that this move into Copenhagen is a crucial step in their Scandinavian expansion.
This development extends ComfortDelGro’s international rail footprint, with their network now exceeding 420 kilometres globally. The company continues to build on its reputation for delivering high-quality, automated metro services worldwide.
