Ownership
Go-Ahead Group is owned by the Australia-based transport company Kinetic Group (51%) and Spanish transport infrastructure company Globalvia (49%).
Kinetic Group
Kinetic is Australasia’s most extensive bus network, operating a fully diversified mass bus transit platform that moves over 100 million people annually. We are headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, and hold more than 90 long-term contracts with state governments in Australia, and with all major councils in New Zealand and the New Zealand Government to deliver bus services that are safe, reliable, clean and green. In 2021, Kinetic was awarded the largest urban bus contract in the region, the A$2.3 billion Melbourne Bus Franchise.
We are proudly the region’s largest owner and operator of electric buses, as we work towards our target of a 100% net zero emission bus operation by 2035. We also stand up for, support and encourage the people around us. We’re a major supporter of inclusivity, and we welcome all sexualities, genders, identities and cultures. After all, our mission is to improve the livelihoods of the communities in which we live and operate.
