Over 5,400 students educated about transportation in regions Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie
In an effort to educate future users of public transport from a young age, Transdev has been actively promoting safety awareness among students in the regions of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie.
Over the past year, Transdev subsidiaries have organised numerous awareness sessions for students, taking place both in classrooms and real-life situations between April and June 2025. These sessions aimed to help students understand the benefits of public transport, the available networks, and safe travel reflexes, as well as evacuation procedures in case of incidents.
Transdev Nouvelle-Aquitaine, in particular, has been at the forefront of this initiative. Belinda, a collaborator from Transdev Nouvelle-Aquitaine, played a significant role in the campaign. The learning took place on the networks of various transport services, including Alégo, Baiïa, Calibus, Mio, TGM, R'bus, Cara'bus, Elios, and interurban entities such as CFTA Centre Ouest in Brive-la-Gaillarde, Citram Aquitaine, and Occitrans La Rochelle.
The sessions covered a wide range of topics, including the importance of respecting safety instructions, adopting the right reflexes, and taking care of belongings. Students were also sensitized about the environmental benefits of public transport and the role it plays in reducing carbon footprint.
The Security Village, a facility designed to educate visitors about safety and security, has been installed in both Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Montauban. This interactive installation provided a hands-on learning experience for students, helping them to better understand the practical aspects of safety in public transport.
The press, including France Bleu and ICI La Rochelle, reported on this initiative, highlighting its importance in raising awareness about transport, safety, and the environment. In total, over 5,400 students in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie regions were sensitized about public transport and safety in 2025.
