On Friday February 24, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne presented a 100 billion euro plan. The goal: to modernize the increasingly decried rail network, with in particular the creation of RER in the big cities on the Parisian model.
The Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, announced on Friday, February 24, a 100 billion euro plan over 17 years to invest in rail transport. “These exceptional means could allow us two objectives: to put an end to the aging of the network and to modernize it”, she announced.
A measure deemed unsatisfactory
Flagship project: the creation of metropolitan RERs. For Carole Delga, president of the Occitanie region, “it’s not enough. We have asked for 100 billion for the next ten years”. The Climate Action Network believes that the amount “must be more precise on the place given to small lines and night trains. It is essential to offer alternatives to the car and the plane”. Elisabeth Borne opened the door to the taxation of major polluters, such as the airline sector and motorway companies.
