Overview
- Laval Agglomération, which voted Monday, will cut bus fares from May 11 through August 31.
- The single ticket falls to €0.50 from €1.30, a 10‑ride booklet drops to €4 from €10, and the day pass goes to €1.50 from €3.25.
- The four‑month measure is priced at about €150,000, against a €25 million annual transport budget and roughly €2.5 million in yearly ticket revenue.
- Leaders say the cut protects purchasing power during high fuel prices and encourages shifts to cleaner daily travel.
- Weekend rides are already free, and the mayor says he will propose free Wednesdays by September, with results from the summer trial reviewed after August.
