Why an urban cable car in south east Paris?
The area is shaped by major transport corridors, natural barriers and fragmented urban environments. Cable transport adapts particularly well to those constraints.
It clears obstacles such as terrain, roads or rail infrastructure without requiring heavy ground works.
What is the passenger experience?
The system is state of the art in terms of safety and operations, with high performing monitoring and alarm devices. Cabins allow passengers to travel seated, in a calm environment.
The whole system is step-free, which guarantees full accessibility for people with reduced mobility without relying on lifts or escalators.
