Detailed description (English): Soft mobility has been developing rapidly since the health crisis, particularly bicycles, which are more and more used by city dwellers in Paris. It is becoming necessary to make modes of transportation cohabit to encourage these new, more ecological modes and to create more multimodality in the capital.
To meet these challenges and the need for multimodality in Paris, G7 launched the G7 Vélo service in July 2021 to offer passengers the possibility of carrying up to three bicycles on their cab journeys. Around one hundred drivers (estate cars or vans) have been equipped with bike racks to date. This option costs 4€ in addition to the fare. The G7 Vélo service has seen a +90% increase since April 2022.
The TIM Sports start-up, which specialises in renting out fleets of bicycles to companies, has entered into a partnership with G7 in order to offer the G7 Vélo service to its corporate clients.
G7 Vélo is an additional tool to G7's range of services to promote soft mobility, multimodality and the ecological transition of the public transport sector.
Detailed description (original language): Les mobilités douces sont en plein développement depuis la crise sanitaire, et notamment le vélo qui prend une place de plus en plus importante à Paris. Il devient nécessaire de faire cohabiter les modes de transports pour favoriser ces nouveaux modes, plus écologiques, et créer plus de multimodalité.
Pour répondre à ces enjeux et au besoin de multimodalité dans la capitale, G7 a lancé en juillet 2021 le service G7 Vélo pour offrir aux passagers la possibilité, lors de leurs trajets en taxi, de transporter jusqu’à 3 vélos. Une centaine de chauffeurs (breaks ou vans) volontaires sont équipés de porte-vélos à ce jour. Cette option coûte 4€ en plus du prix de la course. Le service a connu une hausse de +90% depuis le mois d’avril 2022
La start-up TIM Sports, spécialisée dans la location de flotte de vélos aux entreprises, a conclu un partenariat avec G7 afin de proposer le service G7 Vélo à ses clients entreprises. G7 Vélo est un outil additionnel à l’éventail de services G7 pour favoriser les mobilités douces, la multimodalité et la transition écologique du secteur des transports publics.
Target group(s): cyclists, businessman/woman, tourists
Objectives: This service, unprecedented in France, responds to the changing needs of users who want more complementarity between the various modes of transportation.
This option facilitates long-distance bike trips and encourages soft mobility. G7 Vélo thus responds to several concrete cases of use regularly faced by cyclists: bad weather conditions, fatigue, late returns, long-distance travel, equipment breakdown, travel to service...
With G7 Vélo, cyclists are able to plan their trips more serenely throughout the Paris arera by having an alternative solution to end or complete their trip by cab.
