Since Keolis took over, are their any French managers any more ?

Keolis is 70% owned by SNCF, the French national railways.

Funny how our own Government can't own public transport, but it's OK for
foreign governments to have large stakes.

I think Keolis may have imported some managers from it's Asian
operations, where only floor area counts.

At any rate I don't think Keolis has much say on the allocation of
specific rolling stock to specific routes and the timetables of said
routes. PTV call the shots. PTV is Keolis's 'customer' not the
passengers carried on the trams they manage.
