Bike sharing

Faced with environmental, public health, and urban congestion challenges, local authorities are seeking attractive mobility solutions. This involves, in particular, active mobility solutions tailored to their territories: self-service bicycles, short- to medium-term bicycle rentals, pedestrian paths, etc.

Solutions designed to be combined

These shared and sometimes electric solutions are designed to be combined with public transportation services and offer innovative intermodal options.

  1. Integrating sustainable modes of transport into overall transport policy
  2. Encourage the use of public transportation by offering bicycle services at key intermodal hubs (train stations, park-and-ride facilities).
  3. Decongesting city centers with flexible active mobility solutions

Cycling and walking, completing the network

  • The solutions deployed: bike-sharing schemes, short and medium-term bike hire, pedestrian routes.
  • Their nature: shared solutions, sometimes electrically assisted, adapted to each area.
  • Why they exist: they are designed to combine with public transport, within an intermodal approach.
  • The challenges they address: the environment, public health and urban congestion.
  • A French reference: close to 2,700 bikes deployed across Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, serving six urban areas.

Our commitment: to encourage the use of public transport and shared individual modes

Integrating cycling and active modes of transport into the heart of the overall mobility offering is essential, with options tailored to each user. We implement active mobility solutions and services (bicycles, scooters, and pedestrian routes) adapted to local challenges of intermodality and transition in usage patterns.

FAQ

Active mobility covers journeys powered by the traveller, by bike or on foot. For local authorities, Transdev deploys bike-sharing schemes, short and medium-term bike hire and pedestrian routes, sometimes with electric assistance.

Authorities face environmental, public health and congestion challenges at the same time. Active mobility addresses all three: it cuts emissions, encourages physical activity and frees up road space, for an investment far below that of heavy infrastructure.

Active mobility solutions are designed to combine with public transport. Bikes cover the first and last mile, between home and the stop, or between the station and the workplace, which widens the catchment of a route without changing its alignment.

Yes. Close to 2,700 bikes have been deployed across Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, serving six urban areas, as part of an active, intermodal and sustainable mobility offer.
