TAS has provided research and consultancy services to the public transport industry since 1989, and with more than 30 employees and associates, is now the largest UK consultancy business to work exclusively within this field.

We have completed more than 600 projects for bus and rail operators, local authorities, UK and Irish government departments and other agencies. Our annual turnover exceeds £1.5m.

In addition, our publishing arm researches and produces annual “Monitor” publications about the market and financial performance of the bus, rail and rapid transit industries.

We are unique in several ways, which we believe offers substantial benefit to clients in our field, because:

• We work within a single field, passenger transport, in which all our expertise is concentrated.
• All our senior employees have substantial practical experience of transport management, planning or operations with local authorities, transport operators or both.
• Our mixture of research, publishing and consultancy within our field provides us with a far more comprehensive knowledge of the passenger transport sector than other consultancies – other consultants purchase and rely on our research and reports.

• Our practical “hands-on” approach is reinforced by exclusive arrangements with several major transport operators under which senior managers are seconded to us for consultancy projects.
