The Hauts de France Region, in collaboration with the Pévèle Carembault Community of Communes, 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 objective: 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 reach the attractivity centres of the Lille metropolitan area, the Douaisis, the Valenciennois and the Artois (Béthune, Lens and Hénin-Beaumont) by TER.
Flexi Pev'ailles also provides solutions for local travel within eligible areas. As such, it is particularly appreciated by a wide variety of user populations for :
The service is composed of three lines (fixed during peak hours) 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 booking in real time.
Flexi Pév'ailes operates all year round (except on bank holidays) from Monday to Friday between 6am and 8pm. Rides are bookable via an application, a dedicated booking website or by phone up to 1 hour before the desired departure time.
