Jean-Marc Janaillac Chief Executive Officer, Transdev Mobility hubs Welcome to the era of the multimodal traveler Ten years ago, moving around the city consisted mainly of a single mode of transportation. Today, it’s more complex. Car use is waning with a part of the automotive market in decline. In France, car use has decreased 4-5 percentage points in the major cities over the past 10 years. Multimodal transportation is becoming a dominant trend. As nearly two thirds of inhabitants identify themselves as occasional users of public transit, a change in mindset is needed. While public transit needs to constantly move toward greater intermodality, the focus must be on supporting the increasingly multimodal individual. For example, walking is integrated within mobility policies as a natural mode of connecting to multiple destinations in the city. The major players in community mobility are therefore making every effort to facilitate the smooth and correct combination of modes, but a lot still remains to be done. INTERMODALITY: STRENGTH OR Transdev develops a global vision for the design and WEAKNESS? operation of multimodal sites integrated within the city.
