    Why prefer the train to the private car?

    While the private car may seem more practical at first glance, there are many advantages to travelling by train:

    • Increased purchasing power
    • Access to the essentials of everyday life: health, shops, employment, training, etc.
    • Safer journeys
    • More peace of mind and more time for yourself
    • Fair and inclusive mobility, accessible to a wide range of travellers: seniors, families, young people, women and people with reduced mobility...

    New, cost-effective, low-carbon, customised solutions

    1. A redesigned operating system to reduce costs and offer the best service;
    2. Trains with a capacity adapted to local traffic, less expensive and compatible with the existing infrastructure;
    3. Services to make everyday life easier : frequent services, coordinated with existing local transport services (bus and coach, TAD, car-sharing, etc.), real-time information, local sales arrangements, services to make it easier to use the bike-train, etc.
    4. Battery-electric trains that can be adapted to suit local needs.

    Light trains that run on innovation

    Capacity to suit every need.

    • TELLi

      The electric successor to the small diesel trains (X 73500), TELLi increases the frequency of services and runs on the entire rail network.

    • DRAISY

      For small lines with low traffic, DRAISY helps to reduce costs and revitalise lines with little or no traffic. It runs on a dedicated track and connects to the main network.

    • FLEXY

      The dual-mode FLEXY solution for the last mile.

    Our teams are ready to listen to the needs of Mobility Organising Authorities, to support and implement their projects. Depending on their needs, we offer :

    • a rapid assessment of a line's eligibility for future light rail systems, and an initial estimate of costs and potential traffic ;
    • a technical and financial study of the mobility project;
    • a proposal for a tailor-made transport and service offering that is consistent with the Operational Mobility Contract, as well as support for consultation with stakeholders and coordination of local mobility.
