TER Picardie is one of 17 transport companies that provides the local public transport (PT) logistics for the French region of Picardy . Half of the company is run by the French state railway SNCF and half by the region. TER Picardy is one of 22 TER associations in France.
The system was introduced in 2002 and after the first four years brought an increase in passenger traffic of 14.4 percent. According to the company, this improvement in acceptance is based primarily on investments in new rolling stock and improvements at the stations. It goes on to say that there is no other region of France in which so much was spent on transport infrastructure per inhabitant: 118 euros per inhabitant per year.
The traffic area includes the three departments Aisne (02), Oise (60) and Somme (80). The two cities of Amiens with 136,000 and Saint-Quentin with 59,000 inhabitants are important centers .
In 2006 the TER Picardie transported an average of 35,600 passengers a day with 8.1 million train kilometers annually. An average of 483 individual trains and bus connections run daily, connecting 65 TER train stations. On an area of 19,400 km² there is an average of 300 km² of a TER train station. The annual turnover is 147 million euros. This is the fifth best ranking of the 22 TER regional companies in France.
Of the daily train connections, 64 percent are trips to Paris or the Île de France , 11 percent to the other surrounding regions and 25 percent trips within the Picardy region.
