Cable car
A leader in urban cable operations, Transdev has experience in France and Colombia.
The best combination of public transport modes, tailored to each territory
Cable car systems offer an effective way to overcome topographical constraints such as steep slopes. We believe that this type of zero-emission solution can help reduce the use of private cars and optimize passenger travel.
To achieve this goal, we pay close attention to passenger satisfaction. We support them in their daily journeys by using cable transport as an efficient first- and last‑mile solution. Only by understanding their expectations can we offer innovative services that meet their needs while ensuring comfort and safety.
France – Câble C1, Île-de-France
Câble C1 now completes the transport offer of the Greater Paris region. Since December 13, 2025, the Câble C1 directly connects the cities of Villeneuve‑Saint‑Georges, Limeil‑Brévannes and Valenton to Metro Line 8 at Créteil – Pointe du Lac. This attractive and innovative mode of transport provides a concrete solution to the daily mobility challenges faced by residents of these Val‑de‑Marne cities (limited public transport network, urban barriers, etc.). It helps connect the heart of the department to major public facilities (universities, hospitals, etc.) as well as the rest of the Île‑de‑France region, linking densely populated neighborhoods to the Metro Line 8 terminus and to all bus lines connecting with the future stations.
Cable C1 key figures
With a 4.5 km route punctuated by five stations—each accessible to people with reduced mobility—the Câble C1 opens up the cities of Limeil‑Brévannes, Valenton and Villeneuve‑Saint‑Georges, and links the two termini in only about twenty minutes during peak hours. Its 105 cabins can carry up to 11,000 passengers per day, thanks to cabin intervals ranging from 22 to 27 seconds.

The design, construction and maintenance of the Câble C1 were carried out by the consortium Doppelmayr France / Spie Batignolles / France Travaux / Egis Rail / Atelier Schall, under the project management of Île‑de‑France Mobilités. The infrastructure is financed 49% by the Île‑de‑France Region, 30% by the Val‑de‑Marne Department and 21% by the French State.
Operations are 100% financed by Île‑de‑France Mobilités and is carried out by Transdev.

Colombia – TransMiCable in Bogotá (2019-2023)
For 5 years (2019-2023), Transdev has operated the TransMiCable, the first urban cable car in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. This cable transport system linked the working-class Ciudad Bolívar districts, located in the hills, to the TransMilenio rapid bus network.
With 3.4 km of line, 4 stations, 163 cabins and a capacity of 7,200 passengers per hour per direction, TransMiCable carries over 25,000 passengers daily.
The cable car was an integral part of an urban regeneration program. Transdev implemented high standards in terms of safety, operator training, user relations and maintenance. This feedback strengthens the Group’s expertise in cable systems, and serves as a reference for future European projects such as Cable C1.
