# Bus Rapid Transit line – France

![Bus Rapid Transit line – France](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/20240108-bus-entre-seine-2.jpg)

**In 2023, SYSTRA won the contract to [design a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/bus-rapid-transit/) which will be essential in the Paris region.**

### TRANSFORMING THE WESTERN SUBURBS OF PARIS

The ‘Bus entre Seine’ line will run between Yvelines and Val d’Oise in the Paris
region by the end of 2028. This BRT line, some of which will use dedicated bus
lanes, will provide a reliable, punctual, and efficient service between these
two districts. The future line will connect with some of the region’s major
lines, and more than 60,000 passengers could use it every day, saving up to 15
minutes on their journeys during rush hour.

### DEDICATED LANES

The BRT line 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 with trees. Land acquisition and traffic studies will be
required prior to the works.

### FOCUS ON SOFT MODES

The project will be accompanied by a front-to-back upgrading of the roads and
the creation 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 the urban planning agency Ateliers Villes & Paysages Paris.
