Abstract

There have been more and more debates on free public transport in France since several years. After having concerned small public transport networks, they now affect larger networks, including those irrigating metropolises. In France, any election campaign is conducive to this type of passionate debates. This paper provides an analysis of the prominence of the free transport subject in the last municipal elections campaign (2020) in French metropolises. It underlines its important role as one of the different transport tariff levers. Partial free transport appears to be the most planned measure, at least initially during the first stage of the mandate, with various design of the notion of partial free of charge. Based on views expressed by the elected candidates, this paper sketches out a short-term perspective on the future of free metropolitan public transport networks and opens the debate on the extension of the free transport measure beyond urban conurbation networks.
