How can you encourage people to use public transport instead of cars? This is a challenge that many local and regional politicians struggle with. Bernard Soulage from the region of Rhône-Alpes, France, and Member of the PES Group in the Committee of the Regions presents a solution: one single ticket for the entire transport network, including bicycle rental!

Leading up to the event Yourspace invites local and regional politicians to give their view on what the PES manifesto should say about the environment. This article is the second in the ‘Green cities’ series, offering a local perspective on global challenges.
