About the project
“The Tour in a Tuk-Tuk” is a project organised by the REPER association, in partnership with the municipalities of Villars-sur-Glâne and Fribourg. The aim of this project is to foster inter-generational social connections by proposing to their citizens, and to the elderly as a priority, free convivial ecological transport to get around in the two municipalities, to run errands or to simply go for an outing. The project also enabled the hiring of two young adults for REPER Mini-Jobs with one person in charge of driving vehicle and the other managing the telephone bookings and the schedule as well as greeting and creating a bond with the people calling to use the Tuk-Tuk. “The Tour in a Tuk-Tuk” concept also raises awareness about soft mobility means since the vehicle is electric.
