Promoting autonomous mobility
New, hybrid systems are developing alongside the familiar modes of public transport (bus, metro, RER, tramway).
They are simultaneously individual and collective, private and public, and RATP is incorporating them in its strategy and in its offer.
Autonomy for the local community
Some of the most striking innovations in urban transport in recent years have come in the field of individual transport. Cars are now used for car pooling and car sharing, while bicycles are the basis of the Vélib' scheme operated in Paris.
All of these new forms of mobility are “hybrids”, combining several modes of transport. Car sharing combines the car and public transport, Vélib' combines individual transport with public transport, and the BRT/BHNS or “overground metro”, is a solution midway between bus and metro.
RATP’s projects in this field aim to give transport users greater autonomy, to allow them to be active participants in their journeys. It has, for example, launched car pooling and car sharing programmes, which should offer a similar service to the Vélib' scheme.
