The TEOR (Transport Est-Ouest Rouennais) is a bus rapid transit system operating in the city of Rouen, France. The service was inaugurated on February, 2001. TEOR was the second BRT system implemented in France (after Evry).

All three TEOR lines use a segregated carriageway. This way offers considerable time saving for users. TEOR vehicles are able to travel rapidly without encountering traffic problems.

The system is operated by TCAR (Transports en Commun de l'Agglomération Rouennaise), a subsidiary of Veolia Transport.
