Coming soon
Ropeway mobility for
local public transit in
France
The first urban ropeway in the
Paris metropolitan area will be
going into service in 2025.
Smoky exhausts, overcrowded buses, traffic jams or
built up infrastructure: In future, Île-de-France
residents and visitors will simply glide above it all.
Because the upcoming Câble C1 ropeway line
covering a 4.5-kilometer route is being built as the
first urban ropeway in the Paris metropolitan area.
From 2025, it will link four different cities within a
catchment area of around 20,000 residents and
6,000 work commuters.
11,000 passengers per day
The Câble C1 line will carry 1,600 passengers per
hour in each direction. Its 105 cabins will be
barrier-free and provide room for up to ten people.
At peak times, the cabins will operate at intervals of
just 30 seconds, thus offering high availability,
maximum efficiency and optimal convenience.
Around 11,000 passengers are expected to travel
daily on the Câble C1 in the initial phase. The
prototype of the custom cabins has already been
presented, along with their safety features and
real-time information. The first series of the cabins
will go into production mid 2024.
