Public transport Caen

The shop uses a fox for its logo, but that's not the reason why it's part of our smart addresses! Les Trois Roux (a redhead on two wheels!) is an independent store entirely dedicated to BMX! Paul, the young and passionate manager, offers you a wide range of models: race, freestyle or flat bikes. And if you don't find what you're looking for, you can customize your BMX, piece by piece! And to have the perfect outfit, protections, clothes, parts and tools are also on sale.

If you're a cycling enthusiast, grab your handlebars and follow us to the new address of the Maison du Vélo. It offers a wide range of services: bicycle and equipment rentals, a bike school (to remind you of the code of good conduct). But that's not all, there's also a repair workshop where you're the mechanic! And because cycling is green, Vélisol collects bicycles, renovates them, and gets them back in the saddle, so to speak... It's a great way to get a cheap bike, as long as you get your hands dirty too!

To get around easily throughout the Caen la Mer area, use the Twisto reflex!

The public transport network, managed by the Caen la Mer urban community, comprises 3 tramway lines and 70 bus routes criss-crossing the region. It's got it all: wide-ranging timetables, local and long-distance routes, and even a cute little red electric shuttle bus - free of charge above all - in downtown Caen! The racks are rechargeable and can be used with NomadCar14 or SNCF TER trains - not bad, eh? Twisto also offers a host of services to make your day-to-day life easier: on-demand reservations, real-time traffic information... Take advantage of their super-smart app, which lets you calculate your itinerary, find out when your bus/tram will be arriving next, thanks to geolocation, and buy your ticket on e-Ticket.

Twisto Vélo. All in the saddle! Twisto is also a self-service bicycle system. How does Vélolib work? You pick up a bike at one of the 23 stations and drop it off at another. We've tried it out for you: the first time, registering at the terminal, quickly choosing your bike, unhooking it... It can get stressful, but everything goes smoothly. Admittedly heavy (we modified our itinerary a little), the bike is very stable, the saddle really comfortable, the brakes in perfect condition, and we were able to enjoy a great ride on Caen's many cycle paths. What's more, if you take out a subscription, you get a free battery. How nice!

Twisto Access. On-demand transport service for people with reduced mobility. Adapted vehicles circulate in 50 communes of Caen la mer, providing a door-to-door service dedicated to people with mobility difficulties. Thanks to this service, every corner (or almost every corner!) and every journey in the heart of the Urban Community (work, doctor, school, shopping, leisure...) becomes accessible to all.

Parcs Relais. To make your life easier, there are also park-and-ride facilities. These are parking lots reserved for subscribers and passengers with a Twisto ticket. Leave your vehicle and continue your journey by bus or streetcar. To leave the parking lot, simply present your validated ticket (contactless ticket or Twisto Atoumod card).

Twisto Auto. If you want to travel outside your line's operating hours or outside Caen la Mer, there's another solution for you: Twisto Auto. Do you have a driving license? Thanks to this service, accessible 24 hours a day via your smartphone, you can use a self-service car for occasional needs (€5 per hour). The network currently has eight Twisto Auto vehicles (electric Zoé and hybrid Clio) at eight stations in Caen, Hérouville-Saint-Clair and Ouistreham. So reserve your vehicle, unlock it using your phone and enjoy the freedom! More information on twisto.fr

Renamed NOMAD, the old green buses link the communes of the département to Caen. There are almost 80 routes, plus an inter-regional route to Honfleur and Le Havre. The network also offers on-demand services such as Appelocar (booking the day before for the next day), Acceocar (for PRMs), Flexocar (which adapts to train timetables) and Taxicar (if your commune is not served). Your ticket is refillable, so don't throw it away - you can use it for 2 years! And this summer, don't forget the Ticket plage: a return trip to the sea at a low price.

If you want to move around in an "eco-friendly" way, take a trip to Planet Eco Mobility. With over 30 years of experience in batteries (Caen Batteries, that's them!), you can go there with your eyes closed! All the equipment at your disposal is 100% electric: bikes, scooters, motorcycles, or even scooters. There is even a selection for children: quads, karts. Whether for individuals or professionals (golf carts), there is something for every taste and every need. Not to mention a nice selection of accessories, maintenance and repairs!
