“With the opening of the extension of line 14 in 2024, then that of line 18 in 2027 between the Saclay plateau and Orly airport, then to Versailles-Chantiers in 2030, the Orlyval shuttle will lose of its attractiveness and its traffic will drop drastically compared to the current situation,” we warn at Île-de-France Mobilités.
The line only attracts 3 million passengers per year.
