Building an even more sustainable mobility
Keolis will provide sustainable, innovative, and flexible mobility tailored to the seasonality of the region, to meet the travel needs of its 82,000 residents, a figure that rises to 350,000 in the summer.
Several key innovations will be launched:
- 24/7 summer transport service, a first for a seaside resort in France,
- An enhanced and better-connected offer, connecting with multimodal hubs,
- An open payment system, for easier on-board ticket purchasing,
- Improved on-demand transport, with bookings made possible up to two hours before departure,
- A stronger commitment to the energy transition, shifting from B100 biofuel (used since 2020) to 100% HVO1,
- An environmental programme, "Cap à l’ombre", to make bus stops greener by planting 40 trees a year so as to make it more comfortable for passengers to wait on the kerbside
