SAMobilité took on the Car-Free Day Challenge 🚗❌

19/09/2026

On the occasion of Mobility Week 🚌, SAMobilité is unveiling a new video format: the Car-Free Day Challenge. Someone who does not use the network has agreed to leave their car in the garage for a day to try other ways of getting around. 👀 Discover their experience very soon in a video on our social media channels. 🎥

défi sans voiture

What if leaving your car in the garage for a day changed the way we look at our journeys? 🚗 This is the idea behind the Car-Free Day Challenge, a new video format proposed by SAMobilité on the occasion of Mobility Week, from 16 to 22 September 2026. 📅

A real experience, already lived 🎬
For this first experience, someone who does not usually use the transport network agreed to take part: travelling for a full day without their car, relying on the SAMobilité bus network and walking. 🚌🚶‍♀️

Their journey was followed and filmed as it happened, with their trips, impressions and any surprises along the way. 📍 The aim is not to stage an ideal experience, but to show, in a concrete and sincere way, what a day without a car looks like in everyday life. ✨

Three episodes to discover from 22 September 2026 🎥
The video will soon be broadcast in three episodes on SAMobilité’s social media channels, Facebook and Instagram. 📱 It will show how this particular day unfolded: the lines taken, the habits adapted, and the conclusions drawn from this experience once the day was over. 👀

And now, your turn? 🙋
This challenge is not reserved for one selected person: everyone is invited to try the experience for themselves, for one day, by leaving their car in the garage and testing the SAMobilité network. 🚌 The timetables for our lines, our tools and practical information to prepare your journeys are available at www.mobilite.agglopole.fr or from the sales office. ℹ️

A challenge to change the way we look at mobility 🌍
Through this initiative, SAMobilité aims to:

  • 🌱 raise awareness of the impact of private cars on everyday travel;

  • 🚌 encourage people to try public transport and soft mobility;

  • ✅ show, through a concrete example, that another way of travelling is possible
