I am sharing this post with my BeestonWeek blog. My interest in buses is as a means of travel and making it easier for everyone to move about seven days a week. Mobility and access matter if we are to make the most of where we live and these little French buses offer a way forward.
Reading the August 2019 issue of Urban Transit I came across a passing reference to this little bus.
Tram enthusiasts, for the most part, see the role of the bus being reduced to a support role, never mind that double-deck buses have more seats and can, in the case of Beeston, get you to a good few places quicker than The Tram. In my book both have an equal roll to play in the Derby–Nottingham conurbation, including little electric buses like the one below, which is French. I love it!
It does all I expect of a buggy bus.

I have blogged in the past about my belief that Beeston needs a community transport network, which I have called the Beeston Buggy Bus network.
I have actually done two posts:
I really believe that little buses like this French 'Bien Petit' Bus' are the future when it comes to increasing mobility around towns and rural communities every day, not just Monday–Saturday daytime. This little bus is electric with a range of 125km (77 miles) and can carry up to 22 passengers.
Enjoy the ride!
