Great article! The "versement transport" truly is something that should be much more well-known outside of France.

I have only one small correction to make - in Lyon, SYTRAL isn't a private company contracted to operate the transit network - it's the pubblic agency charged with planning and financing the transit system ("AOT" - "Autorité Organisatrice des Mobilités").

Normally in France, the transit system is planned and managed by an AOT (SYTRAL for Lyon), operated by one or more companies (RATPdev, Keolis, Cars Philibert etc.) and the system operates under a unified "marque" ("branding" - "TCL" in Lyon).
