Challenge
- Helping Bourges residents get around on the AggloBus, operated by the RATP Dev subsidiary since 2011.
- Renovating the system to ensure better service for the 9,200,000 passengers who ride it every year.
- Meeting the city's long-term needs.
Solution
In July 2017, STU Bourges signed a new five-year agreement to operate and modernize the city's bus system. Since September 2017, the employees of this RATP Dev subsidiary have put their know-how to good use and Bourges residents now enjoy a brand new transit system. The 65 buses are more environmentally friendly, with half of them running on natural gas.
Locals can also discover the city and its events with three pilot routes that run every six minutes, a downtown shuttle, and a night-time route that leaves from the train station.
Here's what's new:
- Stops at the business districts, hospitals, and universities
- Summer 2018: introduction of reduced fares for special circumstances
- Contactless ticketing
- Switchover to eight natural gas buses
