The Rhône-Alpes region on track
26/08/2008

The Rhône-Alpes region has shown its support and given the SNCF 18 million Euros to set up a more rational and effective regional rail network – the famous « TER ». To do this, a rhythm must be established ; this means simplified timetables which can easily be memorized, a decrease in waiting times between connections (train and bus) as well as a 9 % service increase during the week (reaching 15 % between now and 2010). There are better links between the towns in the region and the central areas near the stations are growing; this limits journeys and takes up less space.
