Le FLAG 

In the Lyon area, one challenge remains: how to make school bus stops visible in poorly lit suburban or rural zones? Transdev, in collaboration with SYTRAL Mobilités, has come up with ‘Le FLAG,’ a clever and innovative solution to mark these stops and reassure students, parents, and drivers.

• A device consisting of a panel and a post, easy to install without major construction work.
• Reflective signage, an easy-to-understand pictogram, and autonomous lighting powered by a solar panel and battery.
• An intelligent, biodiversity-friendly system: the device lights up only when students are present, thanks to a motion detector during specific hours.

• Improve the visibility and safety of school bus stops
• Reassure families
• Make stops and the network more visible for drivers and motorists
• Offer an eco-friendly solution with a low environmental impact

Feedback has been very positive:

• Drivers appreciate the increased visibility at night.
• Students feel reassured while waiting for the bus.
• Parents praise the solution for its safety and simplicity.
