flag France launched its first urban cable car in a Paris suburb, cutting commute time and improving transit access at low cost.

flag France launched its first urban cable car, the C1 line, in the Paris suburb of Limeil-Brevannes on December 13, 2025. flag The 4.5-kilometre route connects Créteil to Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, cutting travel time from 40 minutes to 18 minutes and linking underserved neighborhoods to Paris Metro Line 8. flag With 105 gondolas carrying up to 11,000 passengers daily, the project cost 138 million euros—significantly less than a subway—and is part of a broader effort to improve mobility and reduce urban divides. flag The system, which integrates with existing transit and includes safety features like emergency calls and surveillance, marks France’s seventh urban cable car, following earlier installations in cities like Grenoble and Brest. flag Officials praised it as a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to underground transit.
