The main challenge in Clermont Ferrand was the need to overhaul an existing service within the space of only two weeks and without affecting users during that period of change. Furthermore, Inurba was forced to incorporate existing staff and maintain pre-existing technology throughout the change process until it could be replaced with the Inurba solution in order to achieve a service transition that affected the city and users as little as possible.

While taking on staff from the previous operator and raising service standards, not only was the bike sharing service launched but also a long-term (up to several months) bicycle rental service including equipment and maintenance, and the C.Vélo Box – private bicycle docks at the train station with automated access. The service was also integrated into the wider public transport network.
