A 9.5 km long Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, the Tzen 5 will serve 19 stations in 4 municipalities: Paris (13th), Ivry-sur-Seine, Vitry-sur-Seine and Choisy-le-Roi. Under the project management of Île-de-France Mobilités, this project was designed in close collaboration with the local authorities.
The Tzen 5 project is:
- A reliable, accessible and comfortable transport offer that will complement the existing and future network.
- A network of 100% electric buses that will run in a "dedicated lane" on almost the entire route.
- A lever for the development of the western Paris and Val-de-Marne territories.
- A project designed in interconnection with other modes of transport (RER C, TVM and 393 buses, Tram T9 and the future Metro 15) and local projects (urban development operations).
