Perception survey: what do passengers think of public transport in Île-de-France?

Updated on

Throughout the year, Île-de-France Mobilités gives the floor to Ile-de-France passengers during a survey on the perception of the public transport network in Île-de-France.

The perception of users is a central indicator for Île-de-France Mobilités. In addition to technical measures, we closely monitor the experience of transport, in order to enrich our knowledge of the service provided and guide improvement actions.
We pay particular attention to the daily experience of transport, which is an essential reflection of the quality of public service.

In the 1st half of 2025, 74,718 passengers were surveyed to share their vision of the Ile-de-France network.
