The French TV network France 3 broadcasted a newsreel about a new service in Mulhouse (a town in Eastern France): young people riding cyclos.

This innovative new project is set up by Pousse-pousse services to help young people from 18 to 25 year-old to reintegrate work. It is funded by advertisements so that passengers are freely transported in the cyclos.

There are more and more cyclos from Maison du Mékong. Four at the time of the show, and more coming!
