"Thanks to on-demand transport services (DRT and Paratransit), new ways of managing and guaranteeing access to a more inclusive and sustainable mobility can be put in place. Means that allow a gradual transition to low-carbon travel, reduce the impact of the private car, improve access to employment and service areas."

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 :

  • getting to work
  • shopping
  • going to medical and administrative appointments
  • ad hoc school trips

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.
