The shuttles will interact with other vehicles at the site and with pedestrians and cyclists. They will also traverse intersections and pedestrian crossings and negotiate speed ramps and crossroads. There will be an operator on board.
The CTRL network caters to over 200,000 inhabitants of the 25 municipalities in the Lorient
conurbation. It has 34 regular urban bus lines, 11 inter-urban lines, four maritime lines including the
Ar Vag Tredan boat – the world’s first ferry to be 100% electrically-powered by ultra-capacitors – 126
school bus lines, ten ToD lines and a transport service for reduced-mobility passengers. The network
will also have 21 event-based lines during the Festival Interceltique de Lorient.
Already operating 243 hybrid buses in London, through its subsidiaries London United, London Sovereign
and Quality Line, RATP Dev will now go further by transforming two bus lines C1 and 70 into 100% electric
operation by 2018. As an operator with the technical and commercial credibility to achieve this
transformation, TfL has welcomed this proactive approach.
