Compagnie générale française des transports et entreprises
The Compagnie générale française des transports et entreprises, commonly known by the initialism CGFTE, was a company which managed public transportation networks in several French cities, including Bordeaux, Nancy, Rouen and Chambéry. It was formed in 1953 from Compagnie Générale Française de Tramways, which was created in 1875.
It was acquired by Compagnie Générale des Eaux in 1980, and later absorbed into CGE subsidiary CGEA Transport. CGEA Transport later became Connex in 1999, then Veolia Transport in 2005, and is now part of the Transdev group. In 2003, Vivendi Environnement was renamed to Veolia Environnement.
