Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of the Executive Board and co-CEO of JCDecaux SA, made the following statement: “The installation of this self-service bicycle hire scheme, a truly eco-friendly way of travelling, in a major activity centre in the Paris region, will allow a larger number of people living in the greater Paris region to enjoy access to this new form of individual public transport. In this way, JCDecaux is helping to improve the quality of life in the Communauté d’Agglomération de Cergy Pontoise. This contract helps us to further improve the effectiveness and performance of our network of advertising displays in the Ile-de-France region, 2% of the country that boasts 19% of the French population, and 29% of national wealth.
