About Minerva Transport Planning Company Proprietary Limited

Minerva Transport Planning Company (MTPCo) was devised by its director, David Bannister, as a niche provider of specialised rail operations and strategy advice. David identified that a gap in the market existed, with smaller firms offering services for operations or strategy - but not both - and larger engineering firms providing the capability, without a specialised focus. MTPCo is founded on the belief that rail operations and strategy are intrinsically linked, rather than mutually exclusive. An operational plan for a railway is of little benefit if it does not fit into the broader strategy for the transportation network. Similarly, a grand transport strategy is meaningless if it cannot be realistically operated. In bridging the divide between these specialties, MTPCo is able to provide agencies and operators with a holistic solution to their short and long term rail planning issues. The company is named after Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategy. Minerva was chosen as the namesake of the company as the qualities she embodies – such as consideration, planning, and understanding – are critical to developing rail operations and strategies.
