Overview

Transport de l'agglomération grenobloise (TAG) is the public transport network serving the Grenoble metropolitan area in eastern France. It is overseen by the local transport authority (the syndicat mixte or métropole) and has historically been branded TAG, with the network now marketed under the name M réso. The network is a comprehensive urban and suburban system covering the city of Grenoble and surrounding communes, and it is one of the better-known French provincial transit networks. The network's operations are largely delegated to major transport groups, notably Transdev (formerly Transdev/Veolia Transport) and other local operators, under a public service delegation model common in France. Services include tram lines, bus lines, and on-demand transport. The M réso brand covers the full range of services: regular bus and tram routes, school services (Sacado), park-and-ride facilities, and reservation-based services such as Flexo, Flexo+ for people with reduced mobility, and group/school trip booking. Ticketing is integrated with the regional Oùra card and a mobile app (L'Appli M), allowing purchase and validation via smartphone, as well as reloading at station vending machines. The network also provides customer service, lost property handling, and travel advice. As a public service, the network is not a listed company but a publicly organised service, funded by the local authority and fare revenue. Its identity is closely tied to the Grenoble metropolitan area's mobility policy, which has emphasised public transport, cycling, and intermodality.

History

The Transport de l'agglomération grenobloise (TAG) emerged as the public transport network for the Grenoble agglomeration in the post-war period, as French cities reorganised urban transit under local authorities. Over the decades, the network expanded from a bus-based system to include modern tram lines, with Grenoble becoming an early French adopter of tramway revival in the 1980s. The network has been operated under public service delegation contracts, notably by Transdev and predecessor companies, while the organising authority (the syndicat mixte, later integrated into Grenoble-Alpes Métropole) set policy and funding. In the 2010s and 2020s, the network underwent a rebranding from TAG to M réso, reflecting a broader mobility approach that includes on-demand services, mobile ticketing, and intermodal connections. The M réso brand now covers tram and bus lines, school services (Sacado), park-and-ride facilities, and reservation-based services such as Flexo and Flexo+ for people with reduced mobility. The network continues to be a key part of Grenoble's sustainable mobility strategy.
