Abstract

For a number of years, French local authorities have been pursuing special pricing policies designed to help the most disadvantaged social groups. Schemes vary in different cities, as do the criteria for determining the beneficiaries. This paper shows, however, that notwithstanding the scale of the agreed efforts, the policies' effectiveness has, on the whole, been limited. In addition to the transit system failing to cater to the needs of some segments of the population, low-income workers and the non-registered unemployed remain excluded from the subsidized pricing schemes.
