The new line 47 operated by the Seine-et-Marne bus network "PEP'S" reinforces the public transport service of this new tourist destination (open since September 1, 2017), located in the municipalities of Villeneuve-le-Comte, Bailly-Romainvilliers and Serris.
Villages Nature expects that 30% of its customers (300,000 visitors per year) will take public transport. Between 900 and 1,500 tourists are expected to use this line every day.
The new line 47 is part of the series of bus lines that Île-de-France Mobilités is creating or strengthening on the PEP'S network, in order to respond to the very strong demographic growth in the eastern sector of Marne-la-Vallée. In addition to the creation of line 47, Île-de-France Mobilités is also strengthening line 32 (Gare de Val d'Europe – Gare de Tournan) and line 34 (Gare de Val-d'Europe – Gare de Marne-la-Vallée Chessy). Line 35, between Marne-la-Vallée Chessy station and Bailly-Romainvilliers, was also recently created to serve 5 municipalities in the area. The total cost of this investment in the reinforcement of the PEP'S network over 4 years amounts to more than €11 million, including nearly €9.8 million financed by Île-de-France Mobilités.
