Overview
- Service began on December 13 with Transdev operating five stations from Pointe-du-Lac in Créteil to Villa-Nova in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, a route presented as Europe's longest urban cable car at 4.5 km.
- The system fields 105 cabins with 10 seats each, running every 22 to 30 seconds, with an expected throughput of about 11,000 passengers per day.
- Hours run from 05:30 to 23:30 daily and until 00:30 on Saturday and Sunday nights, and riders use standard Navigo passes or bus‑tram tickets with no surcharge.
- The project cost €138 million, financed 49% by the Île-de-France region, 30% by the Val-de-Marne department, and 21% by the French state and the European Union.
- Safety measures include onboard CCTV and emergency call buttons, a full-scale evacuation drill held in November, and wind protocols that halt service above 90 km/h, with officials noting cable cars’ strong safety record.
