If he were elected President of the Republic on April 24, the candidate Yannick Jadot would set up "free public transport for local transport, TER, buses", he said on Friday on franceinfo.
Where there is no public transport, Yannick Jadot wants to promote the development of carpooling lines organized by mobile applications.
Ecologist Yannick Jadot proposes "an emergency measure", free "local" public transport, including TER, for six months, to save energy and reduce fuel imports in the context of sanctions against Russia.
"We put it free for six months, compensated by the state," he said, defending "an emergency measure to promote public transport".
Develop carpooling
Where there is no public transport, Yannick Jadot wants to promote the development of carpooling lines organized by mobile applications.
Another measure aimed at changing behavior, "there can be speed reductions", he suggested.
"It's not in my program today, but let's imagine that to support the reduction or the embargo of oil imports (Russian, editor's note), you have to reduce the speed for a few months by 10 km/h, frankly, given what the Ukrainians take, the bombs they take to their heads, I think it's a contribution that the French can make".
Opposed to the purchase of American shale gas
In favor of a European Union embargo on Russian gas, he is opposed to the purchase of American shale gas to make up for a possible shortage next winter.
Among the answers, he proposes, in addition to a prioritization of building renovation works, an implementation of renewable energy projects which are "queued" in France.
"For the gas used to produce electricity, we have the equivalent of 30% substitution of Russian gas by projects which are already validated and which are simply awaiting a signature", he continued.
"Let's put photovoltaics on all car parks, on supermarkets, on schools", launched Yannick Jadot.
