The without ambiguity position of the ADTC (Association for the promotion of public transport), a historic association in favor of the establishment of the tramway, which is opposed to the “free” of public transport probably sounds the death knell for an electoral scam on which the Grenoble red/green counted.
They had once again set up a group made a lot of noise for several months with the purpose of making their “free” proposal supporting the elected officials before guardians who offered it. This group comprising an ancient permanent PC, François Auguste, an elected official of the majority Piolle, Bernard Macret and the transmission belt “Alternatiba”. All this (!) Under the names of the “collective for free” or “Grenoble citizen” to which the DL gave a lot without ever seeking further.
S. Laval: “Promising free is lying to people”
Sylvain Laval, the president of the Smmag, the bane of the red/green had mounted several times in the niche to denounce this demagoguery, just like Christophe Ferrari (public square) in a tone below: “I have seen the recent declarations of Eric Piolle, and I have no doubt that those who want to take his succession will have it in their electoral program for the municipal elections of 2026. But, I say it clearly: promise the free of our public transport is to lie to people!“Lavain Laval in the DL again launched at the end of July.
Y. Mongaburu (Greens/Ades) Champion of delays and deficits
Constantly recalling that comparison with other cities, such as Montpellier is ridiculous: small network, recent investments while Grenoble is a vast network which requires heavy investments because of their seniority as we see with the renewal of rolling stock not anticipated by Yann Mongaburu (Greens/Ades). But the barrels of Laurence Ruffin at Smmag, Margot Belair, Pierre Bejjaji wanted to hear anything. No more than Gilles Namur repeater Béat de la Promise. Even again, Éric Piolle ended the year on the commitment of “free”.
The ADTC definitively closes “the waouh effect”
Communicating clearly on August 12 on site Gre’Net, The ADTC definitively closes the “waouh” effect of the measure which is happy at the Gogo. By encrypting the loss of revenue at 60 million euros per year, the ADTC explains that this “would make extensions however essential “.

The Red/Greens provided 31 % for the financing of users in 2030!
The ADTC does not go so far as to recall – must not exaggerate – that the PDU proposed by Yann Mongaburu (Greens/Ades) and voted by the majority in 2019 provided for an increased participation of users in 2030: 31 % of operating costs … But its position is a very hard blow for the candidate for the succession Laurence Ruffin, in difficulty on all subjects and subject to the pressure of Allan Brunon Brunon (LFI).
What will he stay with red/green? Especially since in passing Alternatiba and the false collectives are also bare and unmasked, without legitimacy.
Place Gre’net: “Two promises never held”
Without insisting, Gre’Net Place Records that “The list A city for all led by Éric Piolle promised free for those under 25. Then again in 2020, while the Grenoble in common list, still led by Éric Piolle, announced this time free on weekends. Two promises that have never been held. ” Indeed. But the Ruffin list intended to continue in the lie in 2026.
2014/2026: the great stagnation of public transport
Of course Emmanuel Colin de Verdière, president of ADTC calls for the extension of the network, to investments “In particular via the extensions of lines A, E and D for which studies are currently underway “ (Place Gre’net). It is his role. Forgetting to note that the great stagnation will have occurred between 2014 and 2026, the so -called “environmentalist” management period, the first since the arrival of the tram in 1987 where public transport trips stagnated. We knew a more vigilant and biting ADTC with elected officials.
A new approach conqueredANDRante
Nevertheless, an additional floor collapses under the footsteps of the outgoing majority which will become more and more rugging. Reinforcing the hard wing, embodied by Allan Brunon who attaches to the fundamentals of LFI vote, which are all that remains at leaving.
The trips of travel, it will deserve a new conquering approach which supposes having dealt with the financial issue. The metropolis cannot continue to stagnate in terms of public transport attendance after having accumulated so much delays.
The extraordinary story of the RANDFreensum for the tram
By recalling in a video the extraordinary story of the most important referendum of a big city, that on the tram, a campaign commitment which had been held, the first in the world accessible to the disabled, Alain Carignon showed that the advances were possible by associating the inhabitants, rather than in opposing them. Provided that the debate is based on healthy and shared data. In June 1983, the ADTC also called out without ambiguous to vote “yes” in the referendum organized by the municipality Carignon.
In 2026, rid of demagoguery and a certain incompetence, our territory will undoubtedly have to find the conditions for this debate and essential advances. Citizens who work on the work -study program are preparing.
