    Why choose the train over the private car?

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

    • Increased purchasing power
    • Access to the essentials of daily life: healthcare, shops, employment, training...
    • Safer travel
    • Greater peace of mind and more time for oneself
    • Fair and inclusive mobility, accessible to a wide range of travelers: seniors, families, young people, women and people with reduced mobility...

    New, low-cost, low-carbon, tailor-made 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 existing infrastructure;
    3. Services that make everyday life easier : frequent service, coordinated with existing local transport services (bus and coach, TAD, car-sharing...), real-time information, local sales, services to facilitate train-bike use...
    4. Trains with electric batteries, adaptable to local needs.

    Capacity to suit every need.

    • TELLi

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

    • DRAISY

      For small, lightly trafficked lines, DRAISY cuts costs and revitalizes lightly trafficked or closed lines. It runs on a dedicated track and connects to the main network.

    • FLEXY

      The rail-road solution. FLEXY is a dual-mode last-mile solution.

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

    • a rapid diagnosis 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 service and transport offer, consistent with the Operational Mobility Contract, as well as support for consultation with stakeholders and coordination of local mobility.
