Every great partnership begins with a conversation. For Global Passenger Network, that conversation took place in Bologna, Italy, in July 2006.
Ten leading coach operators, representing ten different countries, came together with a common ambition: to establish trusted international partnerships with companies that shared their commitment to quality, safety and exceptional customer service.
They recognised a challenge familiar to international transport operators.
While they could confidently deliver high standards in their own countries, their customers increasingly needed reliable transportation in destinations beyond their borders.
Finding companies abroad that shared the same professional values was not always straightforward.
The founding members believed there was a better way.
By bringing together respected independent operators who knew and trusted one another, they could create an international network that combined local expertise with shared standards of service.
During that two-day meeting, Global Passenger Network was born.
