[FORMALITIES] Prepare for the academic year with the Student Assistance portal: focus on transport

In the “Transport” section of the Student Assistance portal, you will find a range of travel solutions to suit your current needs:


► If you would like to get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and take in the sights while you’re out and about, why not opt for soft mobility (walking or cycling)?

► The TCL network provides a map of the public transport network, as well as walking and cycling journey times (especially handy if you opt for a Free Vélo’V) and Vélo’V self-service bicycle stations.

► If you prefer to take public transport, you can download your local transport provider’s mobile app or visit their website to estimate your journey time.

► In Lyon, if you are aged between 18 and 27 and have a TCL pass, the Técély card costs just €25 a month. If you meet certain conditions, you may be eligible for a free or reduced solidarity transport pass. Find out more

► In Saint-Étienne, STAS offers a monthly pass for €10 and an annual pass for €110 for people under 26. With the Rubis network in Bourg-en-Bresse, if you are under 26, you can get a public transport pass for just €19.50 per month. In Roanne, public transport is free of charge on the weekends.

► There are also a number of organizations that offer community bicycle workshops where you can buy or repair a bike at an affordable price.
