There was little repealed the famous law, called Macron, which, in particular, to open up to competition passenger transport by bus and through all the country. In 2013, 110,000 passengers traveled kilometers through this means of transport, as in Germany or most historically in England as to become "bankable" in France. On the government will do you make it a habit and a choice of transport for all? Is this going to change the lives of our dear guest? overview of what is done already, what will emerge shortly, a ride from neighbors to understand and analyze the situation. A hot folder for burning a comeback that moves!

A law to reach more customers, save money and create jobs!
This new competition in the transport market is one of the sections of the repealed law this summer. It should allow eventually means, to "liberate over 700 million power purchases for the French," the government said. How? By enabling the creation of new lines of over 200km, these were previously subject to severe constraints. Companies will thus be able to position themselves on a market still in its infancy, most of the figures speak for about 10,000 direct jobs created through this new competition law (also known as 20000 indirectly). You should know that, since 2011, coach transport is permitted on long-distance lines, but be careful he was to make routes in France only if the departure or arrival were located abroad (cabotage). In order to simplify and gain growth but also in order to follow its European neighbors, France allows to expand a little known and little used panel to date. Already forty cities were targeted and chosen to be served: from Paris to Rouen, Lille, Strasbourg, but why not on destinations less "big cities" or more transverse (east-west for example), as can be see the map of the french network of buses below recently posted online by the site GoEuro.fr which published a comprehensive study on the subject. Clearly, by betting on the future, the creation of new bus lines and the lower expected costs, the buses will probably attract a different clientele or new rail or intercity routes. So young people retired or otherwise are particularly affected by these developments: in fact, having less stress time / schedules to respect and sometimes a limited budget are reasons to choose this mode of travel. In any case these bonds are well anchored "leisure".
An offer that extends
currently existing lines via the 5 companies on the market
currently existing lines via the 5 companies on the market
Some companies have already taken the niche: iDBUS (SNCF subsidiary), Eurolines, Starshipper, Megabus or Flixbus are in the starting blocks and propose month about new products (eg Isilines (subsidiary of Eurolines) has created 17 lines 50 destinations with the promise of 1,000 new hires by 2017. Starshipper meanwhile announced four new lines in France and towns such as Angers, Lyon, Le Mans served from Paris-Toulouse line and a Saint Sebastian interesting the South West ... 5 million potential travelers to convey: a juicy bonanza for companies that will be this fall.
bus types
What will it be in future? Focus on our European neighbors with what worked or otherwise posing questions.
Our neighbors have been more or less time opened the way (and ways) bus for long distances trips. Thus our English friends are ahead, the law went home in 1985, and to date there are more than 30 million Britons who travel by bus: a pretty huge number for a network dominated by three large companies, and Megabus , last in, shoved habits and price including a less expensive recovery of existing lines. Another case (somewhat apart, it is true) with our Spanish neighbors: the train there historically been less developed than in other countries and so in fact we could say, the bus is traced his route and there currently 32 million customers a year for a full mesh hyper. The network is provided by a multitude of small businesses.

The German example
This is a super interesting case to analyze: the cooler and one we are following developments with great attention. Launched in 2013 free competition is particularly in place and the situation before was almost similar to that of France. In the first year a large number of enterprise and bonds are created: where an obvious increase of associates (8 million in 2013, 20 in 2014), especially the statistics show that many travelers as simply able to "move" through the new system (the price decline has been more than spectacular). Also a rather unexpected effect was revealed: the declining traffic: yes and so many individuals have left the car in the garage ... but because there is a state of grace but the new shiny and all-out liberalization has left its mark: a sluggish or non-existent profitability early years, and bankruptcies have been recorded. Also after the price boom they have stagnated or even slightly increased lately.
Allow everyone to travel, yes, but where and to what extent?
It is for me anyway the major advantage that I see in this part of the so-called law of growth, but in a world "if pressed" with vacation time standing out more and more, are we going to spend hours in the bus, so modern as they are? Personal example: a friend inquired for a trip from Grenoble to Nantes (14 euros each way) but ... 13.30 road ... On a weekend, impossible, for people with back problems, also impossible. I also fear that eventually the small railway lines, public service therefore classified as uneconomical or not profitable at all (sic ...) be left to private companies or with probably less freedom. He who has already traveled by bus also asking about comfort, status and convenience of bus stations of our cities ... often murky and inaccessible, work is to be done there too. Finally, and if tomorrow I want to do a trip in regions is not located on main roads and little already provided by SNCF lines (Ardèche, Lozère, for example) is what we will think of them and local tourism? Short questions, concerns that arise today. "Wait and see" as say the topics of "gracious Majesty." This law still going in the right direction for, including competing prices of the train that today is not used by many people as too expensive. We will also see you changing a car-sites, which in recent months on a roll (BlaBlaCar ranked first)? The future of transport, modes of transport is undergoing a revolution, let the right car!
To you and us to test, compare, discuss and share experiences, fellow travelers, it's up to you !!!!!!
