Aiming to ease access to several towns in the 94, the Cable C1 is designed to link Créteil to Villeneuve-Saint-Georges in approximately 18 minutes, compared to around 40 minutes by bus today.
But wait, which four suburbs in Île-de-France are served by the Cable C1? What are its hours of operation, how often do the cabins run, and what is the ticket price? What safety measures are in place for bad weather? Whether you're a resident of Val-de-Marne planning to try out this new mode of transport, or just curious, here are the answers to your questions about the very first cable car in Île-de-France.

The Cable C1 fleet consists of 105 cabins. Spacious and comfortable, each can hold up to 10 passengers, all seated — no standing room. Fully electric, these cabins are accessible to people with mobility impairments and are designed to accommodate strollers and bicycles. Additionally, Île-de-France Mobilités has announced that real-time video surveillance will be implemented inside the cabins, at stations, and in surrounding areas.

But how exactly do passengers board and disembark this innovative mode of transport in the heart of the région? We’ve got the details. [Read more]

Frequency of visits:
The cabins are expected to pass at intervals of less than 30 seconds. As for daily ridership, Île-de-France Mobilités estimates it will reach 11,000 passengers per day upon opening, potentially rising to 12,000 by 2030.
The C1 cable car is classified among the so-called Surface transportation modes. To board the C1, you need a Navigo pass (which covers C1 trips automatically) or a Bus-Tram ticket (costing 2 euros, available as a rechargeable card on the Navigo Easy pass or via smartphone). "If you arrive by bus at Pointe du Lac, please take the external route instead of passing through the metro to reach the C1 cable car. Otherwise, you'll need to purchase an unnecessary Metro-Train-RER ticket," explains the RATP.
