LFI Deputy Calls for Non-Mixed Cabins on Paris-Area Cable Line Ahead of December Launch

Île-de-France Mobilités says cabins and stations will have real-time video monitoring and intercoms to address rider safety concerns.

Overview

  • The C1 cable line is scheduled to open on December 13, linking Créteil and Villeneuve-Saint-Georges via Valenton and Limeil-Brévannes in Val-de-Marne.
  • Nadège Abomangoli labeled the new system a “nid à agressions sexuelles” and urged women-only cabins, citing fears about assaults in enclosed cars.
  • Cabins are described as holding up to about 10 people, a design feature that online commenters say could heighten risks for women when suspended with no easy exit.
  • Île-de-France Mobilités says live video surveillance will operate in cabins, stations and their surroundings, and each cabin will include an intercom to reach staff.
  • Le Figaro reported Abomangoli’s post drew about 35,000 likes and roughly 4,000 reshares on X, and RN deputy Alexis Jolly publicly criticized her proposal by contrasting urban and mountain cable cars.
