Since the beginning of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Urbanloop capsules have been laid on for the general public at the Trappes-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines open-air recreation area.
Initially deployed to provide free transport for thousands of spectators around the Saint Quentin en Yvelines fan zone, this pilot service will continue to run to the end of 2025.
And it has met with great success! After only two months of operation, Urbanloop SQY has surpassed the symbolic milestone of 10,000 passengers.
Keolis and Urbanloop share the ambition of proposing and deploying innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, for the benefit of citizens. Designed and developed in Nancy, this low carbon, battery-free and truly innovative technology allows passengers to travel individually and directly to their destination, thus improving mobility services in lower-density areas.
With this solution, Urbanloop is introducing a new type of public transport : it’s no longer the passenger who waits for the vehicle, but the vehicle that waits for the passenger. With zero wait time, no stops, and no transfers, this new urban mobility simultaneously brings more fluidity, speed and reliability.
This milestone is a major accomplishment for Keolis, which has provided Urbanloop with its expertise as the world leader in automated metro operations, working closely with all project partners to revolutionize mobility and invent the transport of the future.
Innovation is at the heart of Keolis’ DNA because without it we cannot shape the future of mobility. Through bold projects like those conducted with our partner Urbanloop, we are reaffirming our ambition to profoundly transform the transport sector with sustainable and innovative solutions, serving citizens and the common good.

Many congratulations to all the teams involved.
