Flexi Pev’ailles, Demand-Responsive Transport service in Haut-de-France Region
The Hauts de France Region, in collaboration with the Pévèle Carembault Urban Community, wanted to develop its public transport offer on its territory.
The former Pév’ailes shuttle service has become Flexi Pév’ailes, a stop-to-stop Demand Responsive Transport service. Its main goal is to quickly bring the inhabitants of the community’s suburban (residential) areas back to the stations of Ostricourt/Libercourt, Phalempin and Templeuve-en-Pévèle to enable them to quickly reach the center of the Lille metropolitan area, the Douaisis, the Valenciennois and the Artois (Béthune, Lens and Hénin-Beaumont) by regional train.
Flexi Pev’ailles also provides solutions for local travel within the eligible areas. As such, it is particularly appreciated by a wide variety of user populations for :
• going to work
• shopping
• going to medical and administrative appointments
• occasional school trips
The service is composed of three lines (one of which is fixed) in order to efficiently adapt to daily travel needs. These three lines were originally under-used.
By choosing Padam Mobility, the Hauts-de-France region aims to boost ridership, particularly by switching to real-time reservations.
Flexi Pév’ailes operates all year round (excluding public holidays) from Monday to Friday between 6am and 8pm. Journeys can be booked via an application, a dedicated website or by telephone up to 1 hour before the desired departure time.
