# SYSTRA wins the design of an essential BRT infrastructure in the Paris region

Bringing Argenteuil, Bezons, Cormeilles-en-Parisis and Sartrouville closer
together is the ambition of ‘Bus entre Seine’, the name given to the BRT system
planned between these towns by the end of 2028. Part of this infrastructure will
be a dedicated bus lane, with lighter facilities to improve the operation of bus
routes in the area. It will provide a reliable, punctual, and efficient service
between Yvelines and Val d’Oise. The project will be accompanied by a
front-to-back upgrade along the routes and the redevelopment of lanes for active
modes of transport: walking and cycling. SYSTRA is a member of the project
management consortium led by Iris Conseil Ingénierie (lead), alongside Ateliers
Villes & Paysages Paris.

_Insertion of lanes with a dedicated platform and priority at intersections_

_Implementation of shared lanes for active modes of transport_

### A complete assignment to transform north-western Paris

The project will enable bus lines in the area to connect with some of the
region’s major lines (RER A, Line J and tram T2), and more than 60,000
passengers could use it every day, saving up to 15 minutes on their journeys
during rush hour.

The project will feature upgraded stations, dedicated lanes, priority at traffic
lights, and junction improvements to ease traffic flow. Local bus routes will be
able to access the upgraded sections, while local residents will benefit from
wider pavements and trees. Land acquisition and traffic studies will be required
prior to the works.

### Buses, a fast-growing mode of transport throughout the world

SYSTRA is involved in a growing number of bus projects, whether in France
(Brest, Bordeaux, Lyon), Senegal (Dakar), Brazil or, more recently, Saudi Arabia
(Makkah). The flexibility of this solution, coupled with the speed with which it
can be installed compared to a tramway, makes it an effective alternative for
local authorities wishing to create public transport corridors, particularly in
the most densely populated and congested areas. SYSTRA is also involved in the
UITP’s e-BRT 2030 programme, which is studying the rapid implementation of
electric BRTs in all major cities.
