Bourges - France

Solution

Thanks to the know-how of this RATP Dev subsidiary’s employees, the inhabitants of Bourges have been enjoying a more ecological network of 65 vehicles since 2011. Our commitment means a fleet over 50% of which is made up of buses powered by natural gas (NGV), including 9 hybrid NGV buses (as of 01/09/2021). 

STU Bourges has been operating the AggloBus network since 2017 under the terms of a five-year contract with the aim of modernising the network. Since September 2017, thanks to the know-how of this RATP Dev subsidiary’s employees, a new service offering has been in place to improve the passenger experience by means of:
-    Three test lines – with service every six minutes
-    A third shuttle circuit added to travel to the city centre
-    An evening service from the SNCF railway station
-    Better service to business parks, hospitals and universities
-    Implementation of a community-minded fare system 
-    A contactless ticketing system.

STU Bourges rolled out Cycloplus, a medium- and long-term bicycle rental offering in the autumn of 2019. The service has a fleet of 99 conventional and 115 electric bicycles.

Printemps de Bourges

STU Bourges is a long-standing partner of the Printemps de Bourges festival, the first in the season and a true cultural landmark not just for the region, but for the country as a whole. The network fields shuttle services for the festival to make mobility for festival-goers easier.
