Solution

For a term of 8 years and 4 months from September 1, 2024, RATP Dev manages the Txik Txak "Littoral" transport network. One of the main challenges of the project is the reorganization of the network throughout the territory. The "Retro-littoral" and "Interior" sectors also support this evolution of the offer, leading to a supply shock for the territory.  

This is reflected in a service offer adapted to the needs of the inhabitants, with simplified routes for better legibility, direct journeys and easier connections between tram'bus, bus and TER lines. RATP Dev Pays Basque Adour will offer a continuous service throughout the day, with no difference in frequency between peak and off-peak periods. Finally, the bus fleet of the Syndicat des Mobilités Pays Basque Adour will be fully electric by 2032, with nearly 40% electric buses today.
