The arrival of the new metros

The trains on line 7 are being renovated, those on line 14 will be gradually replaced from May 2020 by longer trains of 8 cars (compared to 6 cars) and those on line 4 will be replaced by driverless shuttles (from the end of 2020). Those on line 11 will also be replaced by 5-car trains (compared to 4 cars) to meet the increase in traffic caused by the extension of the line to Rosny-Bois-Perrier (2023).
