The walking bus service was launched in l’école élémentaire Marianne Cohn de Viry on September 20th, 2017. The two lines of the walking bus have been in operation throughout the school year 2017-18 every Wednesday morning. The walking bus was launched with adult volunteers who accompanied the students. On October 5th, 2017, three police officers provided training for the companions. The students had to subscribe to the service.
The two existing bus lines are the center line with 7 registered students and 4 accompanying adults who take turns. The line of l’Eluiset, has 25 registered students and 10 accompanying adults who take turns.
Walking bus lines in École élementaire Marianne Cohn (Viry)
On Friday April 4th, 2018 the school carried out an activity to promote the walking bus, “Challenge without a car”. Thus, students not joined to the service could prove it in the two lines that are underway. The police were contacted to reinforce security and more adult volunteers joined. Also, a snack was organized in the courtyard to welcome the students. Participation was very high (74% of the students were in sustainable modes of transport and 6% by car and then on foot or by scooter).
