The Minister of Transport Clément Beaune is "open to the idea of reserving a lane of the ring road (Parisian) for carpooling, under cover of a preliminary impact study" On the other hand, this project arouses the opposition of the Ile-de-France region, led by Valérie Pécresse (LR). "If it's to make more congestion, it's not so ecological.
If it makes carpools and bus transport and other uses more fluid, I think it's positive and we have to look at it," the minister explained.
