Rhone. Lyon in the top 10 cities that carpool the most in France
Klaxit has published the ranking (outside Paris) of the cities that use carpooling the most, all operators combined.
And the result may surprise. It is not requested the largest French cities, which covet the most.
The proof: in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, Annecy (125,694 inhabitants) is ahead of Lyon (513,275 inhabitants) in the ranking. In the end, the Lyonnais took ninth place with 3,575 journeys, far behind Rouen, which topped the list with 11,766. A not-so-glorious result for the capital of Gaul, given its size and scope. It is nevertheless a little better than Marseille, for example (10and with 3,001 trips).
This top 10 was produced taking into account carpooling trips, made in February 2022.
Even if only the city is named, all the municipalities within the territorial jurisdiction of Sytral are taken into account in the result.
Auvergne Rhône-Alpes ranks 4and
A classification by regions was also transmitted by the Klaxit application, on the same principle as that of cities. In the latter, there is Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, which ranks fourth with 16,116 journeys made in February.
Île-de-France logically wins this “competition”, with 143,169 journeys, followed by Pays de la Loire, with 21,354, and Occitania, with 16,504. Corsica comes at the back of the pack with… 0 journeys checked in !
6 cities with more than 1,000 routes
In the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region, six cities participate the most in carpooling. Annecy is obviously the leader with 6,331 journeys recorded in February. Lyon is 2and with 3,575, in particular thanks to its new carpooling sites; Chambery is 3and with 1,756; Porte de l’Isère is 4and with 1,667, Albertville is 5and with 1,030, and finally, Grenoble is 6, and with 1,014 trips.
Valence and Saint-Etienne, two major cities in the region, are the worst performers with less than 1,000 journeys to their credit, despite their number of inhabitants.
Lyon, for its part, for an “ecological city”, can still do better.
Note that the route that is carpooled the most is Bourgoin-Jallieu to Bron.
