For nearly eighteen years, free bus and tram services in the Huveaune valley have proven effective for everyone. This system addresses three major issues: purchasing power, by easing household budgets; simplicity of use, offering a fluid service without administrative procedures; and the environment, by encouraging people to leave their cars at home to reduce pollution and traffic jams.
Faced with a project to abolish this model, local municipalities, associations, and residents are uniting to preserve this common good, essential for the territory's cohesion and quality of life.
By signing this pact, the signatories commit to defending household purchasing power by rejecting the introduction of paid tickets or subscriptions, ensuring free access for all residents in the living area, and supporting decarbonized mobility to improve air quality and ease traffic.
They also demand that no regression be imposed without the agreement of local elected officials, associations, and users. The collective commitment aims to relay and expand this mobilization to guarantee the maintenance of free services.
