Many locals are thrilled, but others worry there won't be cash left to develop the transport network further.

Part of a larger climate adaptation scheme, including over 200 kms of new bike lanes.

All UK local authorities appear to have is mounting debts.

Visited Montpellier in October 2017 - a rugby weekend of course - and even then was very impressed with the developing public transport network so this comes as no surprise.
