The Paris metro today has two faces.
On the one hand, there are lines equipped with more or less recent rolling stock, dating less than 20 years.
This is largely the case today for lines 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11 and 14. And then there is another network, older, with aged equipment, sometimes even dilapidated.
Lines 3, 3bis, 6, 7, 7bis, 8, 12 and 13 thus experience frequent disruptions linked to breakdowns and equipment failures.
Good news for users: Île-de-France Mobilités, the transport organizing authority in Île-de-France, has scheduled the arrival of new trains on these eight lines that have so far been penalized.
In total, the 410 MF19 trains built by Alstom, which will ultimately transport 40% of the metro network's passengers, represent an investment of nearly 5 billion euros between now and 2035.
