Organisation

TPF was created in 2000 by merging the GFM with Transports en commun de Fribourg; its new structure, a holding company and subsidiaries, represents a new chapter in the development of TPF's organisation. The holding company, Transports publics fribourgeois Holding (TPF), is responsible for management of the group and corporate services. It has three subsidiaries: Transports publics fribourgeois Infrastructure (TPF INFRA) SA, Transports publics fribourgeois Trafic (TPF TRAFIC) SA and Transports publics fribourgeois Immobilier (TPF IMMO) SA. responsible respectively for infrastructure, transport and property management. The creation of the four companies provides greater clarity of purpose and better focus on the activities undertaken by each of the companies. It also allows them to look for the most appropriate forms of finance for each of their businesses whilst minimising the risks.
