The Cars Région en Isère network

Cars Région in Isère, the public transport network of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, includes:

• 866 buses covering 14.418 million kilometers per year;
• 448 routes, including 5 Express lines, 55 regular lines, and 388 school routes;
• On-demand transport services;
• 7.85 million trips per year;
• 44,800 students transported daily.

Cars Région in Isère also offers:

• A unified and zonal fare system for all residents of Isère;
• A consistent visual identity for all network stakeholders;
• A network of sales points across the region;
• A more efficient transport service.

All buses are easily recognizable by their white and blue colors, with some running on natural city gas.

The network comprises more than thirty carriers, all under contract with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region. These carriers are responsible for operating one or more bus lines assigned to them and providing Isère residents with an efficient public transportation service.
Year after year, the network is expanding. The coverage of the territory and the efficiency of the services offered are increasing.
Thus, with the bus stations in Grenoble and Villefontaine as key points, the network has acquired high-level service lines, known as "Express Lines."
The Region has carried out actions to improve the network, both in terms of rolling stock and infrastructure. Thus, since June 16, 2020, a VRTC (Reserved Public Transport Lane) has been in place. This begins at the Veurey-Voroize entrance ramp (No. 13) towards Grenoble and ends on the RN481, at the exit ramp towards Grenoble Gares/Europole (No. 16) to ensure consistent journey times while providing an alternative to cars.

Continuing with the goal of being as close as possible to the residents of Isère, the local authority is establishing a single point of contact through a network services manager: Cars Région Services. This entity is responsible, in particular, for customer relations (call center, complaints management, etc.). In addition, Facebook pages are maintained for lines X04, X05-X06-X07, and X08 to allow for daily dialogue on line news, or more generally, the Cars Région team in Isère page.

Efforts are also being made to strengthen intermodality and complementarity between different modes of transport. With this in mind, the network uses the Oùra card. This contactless card allows travel across the entire network, including the Isère urban networks and the TER (Regional Regional Express) with a single card. Payments are made easier thanks to contactless bank card payments on all coaches on the network's regular lines. Occasional users can purchase a ticket by text message.

In addition, the Region is working on developing new mobility services such as carpooling, organized hitchhiking, and multimodal information. You can benefit from a multimodal information service through oura.com. To facilitate intermodal travel, racks that can carry up to six bicycles are installed at the rear of most regular lines of the Regional Bus network in Isère.
