Also, the currently existing accompaniment service by reservation will be improved by providing trained accompanying staff to help and accompany PRMs.

In addition, the Metropole is also making the Mobimétropole service available exclusively to disabled people with reduced mobility. It operates 7 days a week; advance reservations by telephone are made Monday to Saturday, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
