The contract, which remains subject to the vote of the Metropolitan Council, covers a record amount of 2.2 billion euros, compared to 1.7 billion for the previous delegation. In particular, it provides for the development of tram and bus networks, the strengthening of river shuttles, and the creation of new on-demand transport offers.
