France’s decades-long investments in transport are now under strain. From the 1960s through the 1990s it built an extensive tolled highway network and expanded high-speed rail. Today those networks face growing challenges – as infrastructure ages, maintenance demands are mounting – even as climate change brings more frequent severe weather that strains roads, bridges and tunnels.

If you want people to ride the bus, build a bus people actually want to ride -then add a reward. Across Europe, cities and regions are experimenting with incentives that nudge travellers away from the car: from full fare waivers and rock-bottom flat fares to points systems, lotteries and employer mobility budgets. The aims are familiar territory - unclog roads, cut emissions, broaden access - but the tactics are varied, inventive, incentivised and sometimes counterintuitive.

Imagine this: you cycle to work, take a tram, or share an e-scooter instead of driving alone and your city rewards you.

AI-powered licence plate image review offers real-time, accurate data processing, but without strong oversight, it poses significant risks to privacy, accuracy, and public trust. Legacy approaches like fingerprinting and basic OCR struggle with today's high-volume, complex tolling environments.
