The public transport authority of Toulouse receives the best network of the year award
04 January 2012On November 29th 2011, the public transport authority of the Greater Toulouse, Tisséo-SMTC, received the Pass d'Or 2011 from the French transport magazine Ville, Rail et Transports, rewarding the best network of the year.
Already awarded the national AGIR INNOVATION prize earlier this year, the president of Tisséo-SMTC Pierre Cohen saluted the work of the public transport operator of Greater Toulouse. He stated that “today, with the widest scope and the lowest density in France, the Toulouse agglomeration has significantly developed its metro, tramway, bus and on-demand network, its fare policy, partnerships with other local authorities and innovative services and solutions”.
To reach the level of public transportation traffic of the largest French cities, the budget of Tisséo-SMTC has doubled, the monthly subscription for people under the age of 26 was lowered to 10 € and a new tramway line was opened.
