A key highlight of the Mobility and Road Safety Week, the National Public Transport Week is organised each year by GIE Objectif transport public in order to promote the use of public transport, with the support of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention.
This major national event puts the spotlight on local urban, inter-urban and regional transport networks, which offer special deals to the public to encourage them to find out about the advantages of public transport and ultimately, foster changes in behaviour.
Featuring dedicated welcome arrangements, this initiative makes it possible to establish direct dialogue between passengers and public transport stakeholders.
The benefits of public transport, which is not only cleaner overall but also cheaper than cars for households, have been proven in the field and convincingly argued in the press and media – which provide extensive coverage of the event.
