Transportation in Bayonne

Urban Transport and transport

Our city is experiencing asphyxia increasingly disturbing traffic. And it affects multiple :

- in terms of travel time to work of employees. To give an example, we must, for example, almost 1 hour in the morning and one hour in the evening to clear the tube of the two roundabouts Maignon Sutar-entry of Bayonne

-in term ecological, pollution from urban transport in Metro is one of the largest of Aquitaine, it is equivalent to that of the CUB Bordeaux or agglomeration of Pau.

-Term in office, STAB was privatized. Transdev is society who has been delegated this mission of service public.Transdev became the majority shareholder of STAB. So the privatization of STAB has caused the loss of 16,000 kilometers of lines and restricting the operating hours of buses early morning and late evening. However, to Bayonne, 27% of families have no car (against 21% nationally)

Our various elected city council intervened Bayonne, each year, including every vote budget, to denounce the lack of consideration of this issue by the municipality of Bayonne and the urban community although the diagnosis is known. We published five articles in the municipal magazine that dealt with this issue. But the magic trio of right CABAB did not consider this problem in its entirety

It is indeed a problem both socially and environmentally, it is a complex problem which is of utmost urgency.

Regarding urban transportation, one observation must be made is asphyxiation rampant traffic

We had, in recent years, a development very important demographic of the city, development that caused sprawl Urban sprawl has had two consequences, it has resulted in increased commuting, increased travel, which rose 2to 3% annually

This exponential growth of travel led inevitably increase traffic and saturation points not only at peak hours but also outside of peak hours

The second finding is the reign of any car

75 000 vehicles entering Bayonne and spread every day in Metro (27 000 at the roundabout of the highway to Pau, on 23 000 10 from the National Landes, 25000 to the two roundabouts Maignon)

It is on the verge of apoplexy in the area where you have Maignon almost one o'clock in the morning and one o'clock in the evening to clear the tube-Maignon Sutar

According to the local plan, there are 76% of trips to the city that are made by car and only 4% in transportation:

Faced with this asphyxiation what was the right policy at the Greater

diagnosis displacement was achieved in 2003 and voted in 2004 and then nothing.

And it took until late 2006 that the Mayor of Anglet, Villenave, which has responsibility for transport on the city told the press "we have not seen the importance is that this travel plan. " Provided he has not started in 2007

The three municipalities have continued to develop cons to everything going places parking while their number per capita is among the highest in France. In Bayonne, there are 7500 parking spaces on roads which 2400. And some parking places devalue remarkable as the banks of the Nive and the Adour.

predictable response to asphyxia of the city and to open up the finish by the Moors, the mayor of Bayonne, Mr. Grenet, defended the chamber of commerce and industry with the creation of the ramp Society of North real scar in the district of St Etienne and the only green lung in Bayonne

Some Positive achievements have nevertheless been made in the city: the free bus to Bayonne, but they are confined to the center - city, bike paths on Anglet and Bayonne but few of them are secure, free bikes were introduced just in Bayonne ... before the election period
