Rush Hour
A rush hour (American English, British English) or peak hour (Australian English, Indian English) is a part of the day during which traffic congestion on roads and crowding on public transport is at its highest. Normally, this happens twice every weekday: once in the morning and once in the afternoon or evening, the times during which most people commuting, commute. The term is often used for a period of peak congestion that may last for more than one hour. The term is very broad, but often refers specifically to private automobile transportation traffic, even when there is a large volume of cars on a road but not many people, or if the volume is normal but there is some disruption of speed. By analogy to vehicular traffic, the term Internet rush hour has been used to describe periods of peak data network usage, resulting in delays and slower delivery of data packets. Definition The name is sometimes a misnomer, as the peak period often lasts more than one hour and the "rush ...

In operation since 1942, the system is one of only three operating trolleybus systems in France; the others are the Limoges system and the Lyon system. Today, the city is taking major steps to develop trolleybus transport. New battery trolleybuses Solaris T12 with ŠKODA electric equipment were purchased. In addition, the number of vehicles was increased compared to the original fleet so that electric traffic could be resumed on the M7 Michon - city center - Bellevue line. In the near future, trolleybuses will also return to the M6 line serving the Metare housing estate, where a trolley line is now being built again. In addition, the line will use the planned BRT corridor and the carrier will purchase articulated trolleybuses for it. These should also appear on the M4 line. Services Th ...
