Abstract

[fre] Pour lutter contre l'exode rural, il faut maintenir des services, en particulier des transports. L'automobile est certes le moyen le plus simple pour désenclaver des fermes isolées. Mais l'essence est chère... . Une solution réunissant les avantages de la voiture individuelle (adaptation des horaires, proximité) et ceux du car (prix modique, transport des non motorisés) a été cherchée et mise au point. Des études préalables, puis ;le montage de l'opération : prise en compte par les institutions, financement, choix d'un transporteur, ont abouti au minicar des Monts de Lacaune. Son expérience, encore courte, montre qu'une opération légère peut être montée avec le minimum de frais et d'engagement financier. Sa réussite dépend de son adaptation aux besoins des habitants et de son caractère attractif pour les utilisateurs. [eng] Improvement in public transport in a little populated rural zone : the monts de lacaune minibus - In the struggle against farmers leaving the countryside, certain services, in particular transport, must be maintained. The car is the easiest way of connecting up isolated farms. But petrol is expensive... . A solution uniting the advantages of private cars (time-table, proximity) and the bus (low cost, transport of non- car-owners) was worked out. Studies were carried out and their results implemented, — finance, choice of transporter — leading to the Monts de Lacaune minicar. This, as yet short-lived, experiment shows that such an operation can be set up at minimum cost and with little capital invested. Its success depends on its being adapted to the needs of the inhabitants and its attraction for its users.
