Linéa

Linéa was the urban public transport bus network serving Gap, the capital of the Hautes-Alpes department in south-eastern France, together with the neighbouring communes of Romette and Châteauvieux. It operated as a branded local bus system, with a fleet composed of standard buses, midibuses, minibuses and coaches, most of them diesel-powered. The network was structured around numbered lines (1 to 9) plus special services such as the Centro lines, and it ran throughout the year, with service levels adjusted between school terms and school holidays. The Linéa brand was eventually retired: the network was entirely integrated into the L'Agglo en bus network of the Communauté d'agglomération Gap-Tallard-Durance. The former Linéa lines became L'Agglo en bus lines in 2018. Because of this integration, Linéa is best understood as a former local transport brand rather than an independent company; it was a publicly organised service tied to the Gap area's intercommunal authority. Service details recorded for the network include the fact that, from 4 September 2017, line 1 was operated by three buses all year round, with two buses on Saturdays, while line 3 was operated by two buses all year round, with one bus on Saturdays. From 3 September 2018, line 2 was operated by two buses all year round, and line 6 was extended to Châteauvieux, keeping two buses from Monday to Friday all year. At the start of the 2018 school year, the new Centro C line replaced Centro B on the Tokoro–La Justice to Ladoucette route, and line B was rerouted up Boulevard Bellevue, no longer serving the Tokoro sector but only the Métiers area. Lines 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 were each operated by a single bus all year, and the bus running line 7 also covered line 9 on the same day. The network's identity is therefore closely tied to the town of Gap and its surrounding communities, and its history reflects the broader reorganisation of local bus services under the Gap-Tallard-Durance agglomeration. Its official information page was hosted on the town of Gap's website.

Linéa was the bus network of Gap, a town in the Hautes-Alpes department of France, and it also served the communes of Romette and Châteauvieux. It functioned as the local urban transport brand for the Gap area, with a fleet made up of standard buses, midibuses, minibuses and coaches; the non-standard vehicles in the fleet were equipped with diesel engines. The network was organised around numbered lines and special services. By the late 2010s it was undergoing a period of change. From 4 September 2017, line 1 was operated by three buses throughout the year, covering both school-term and school-holiday periods with unchanged timetables, while two buses provided the Saturday service. On the same date, line 3 was operated by two buses all year round, with a single bus on Saturdays. Further changes followed in 2018. From 3 September 2018, line 2 was operated by two buses all year round, no longer changing during school holidays. Line 6 was extended to Châteauvieux and kept two buses from Monday to Friday throughout the year, changing only on Saturdays. At the start of the 2018 school year, the new Centro C line replaced Centro B on the Tokoro–La Justice to Ladoucette route. The route of line B was modified so that it climbed Boulevard Bellevue in the opposite direction to line 2, no longer serving the Tokoro sector and serving only the Métiers area. Lines 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 were each operated by one bus all year round, and the bus running line 7 also ran line 9 on the same day. The decisive turning point in the network's history was its full integration into the L'Agglo en bus network of the Communauté d'agglomération Gap-Tallard-Durance. The former Linéa lines became L'Agglo en bus lines in 2018. As a result, Linéa ceased to exist as a separate network brand, and its former services were absorbed into the agglomeration's unified bus network.
