Three third-year students at Paul-Valéry University Montpellier 3 are conducting a study on the development project of Bustram A in the Montpellier metropolitan area, meeting with mayors of the affected municipalities.

Célia, Yann, and Nawele are working on the "major development project for Bustram A in the Montpellier metropolitan area." To do this, they are meeting with the mayors of the communes it will cross to discuss its integration into the metropolitan territory, its effects on mobility, accessibility, local development, and potential consequences for residents and the area.
In Vendargues, a town historically affected by road traffic, the arrival of the Bustram is seen as an opportunity for stabilization. "It is very important for our businesses and for employees who will avoid using cars to get to work," the town hall emphasizes. The fare-free service is also viewed as concrete support for users' purchasing power, facilitating travel for seniors, medical appointments, and offering young people additional options to reach high schools, universities, or find employment.
The Bustram route in Vendargues will feature five stations, thus increasing connection possibilities to the infrastructure. The project also includes a cycle path, adding the benefits of sports activity to mobility advantages.
