Saybus and GPN have met in 2018, at the IBTM exhibition in Barcelona. With the quality services offered by Saybus, its network (more than 240 operation sites divide on the French territory) and its excellence operational, GPN has chosen Saybus as a unique French services provider in its network.
Thus, from 2019, during the General Meeting in Roma, Saybus has been officially included as the French member of the network and became an actor of the GPN’s development by answering all the requests heading to France.
By its implication in the network, solutions supplied, ideas proposed to develop the association and highlight the Réunir Network in France, Saybus has reinforced its position inside GPN and in the strategic decisions. Thus, the French passenger transport company is now a part of 3 committees :
- Sales and Marketing Committee with Alissia BEGAG (Business developer in Saybus)

- Partnership Committee with Alexandre DELVALLEZ (General Manager in Saybus)
This is just a beginning for Saybus, because one year later, Alexandre DELVALLEZ was nominated member of the GPN’s Committee Board, and Chairman of the Partnership Committee.
