"

97% of people have their pass

" welcomed Jean-Baptiste Djebbari.

For those who cannot produce supporting documents during checks, it is possible to be tested at the station or to request the postponement or reimbursement of the ticket, he said.

The minister also returned to the benefits in kind available to railway workers.

The traffic facilities granted to families - free tickets made available - would cost the SNCF 105 million euros per year according to a report commissioned by the ministry.

"

This represents 400 euros per SNCF agent

" he said, saying he was in favor of discussions with the unions to "

review the scope

" of this advantage.

Jean-Baptiste Djebbari also confirmed the will of the government not to set up technical control for two wheels: "

There will be no technical control but we will answer the substantive questions

".

The safety module will thus be reinforced when the driving license is issued and incentives and support will be put in place to reduce the environmental footprint of two-wheelers.

has not demonstrated its effectiveness

" according to him. The executive would favor the conversion of fleets to electric.
