The bus network in Serres-Castet will become completely free every Saturday starting November 7, for a one-year trial period. During this time, all users can ride the buses without needing to validate a ticket. Existing subscriptions will not require validation on Saturdays.
This initiative aims to facilitate travel to the Place des 4 Saisons, particularly for the Saturday morning weekly market and local shops. Users can take the bus line closest to their home. If the bus does not pass near your residence, you can park your car at the Collège parking or the Liben parking, then board the bus to reach the town center.
The one-year experiment aims to remove the financial barrier to occasional bus use, encourage public transport adoption, and reduce reliance on individual cars on Saturdays. It also seeks to help new users discover and utilize the bus network, and to enhance the appeal of town centers and commercial/leisure hubs.
Trying the bus on Saturdays is promoted as a more ecological, economical, and practical mode of transport for the whole family.
