Does the RER have a future outside of Paris?

We must believe so, and this because of the desire to promote the ecological transition.

"To fulfill our ecological ambition, I want us to have a great national ambition: in ten large cities, in ten French metropolises, to develop an RER network, a network of urban trains", announced Emmanuel Macron in footage posted on YouTube.

During this, the President of the Republic answers questions from Internet users on ecology.

In the regions, it is in Gironde that the RER is the most advanced.

Since 2021, a first link between Libourne and Arcachon of the RER Métropolitain has been in partial service.

In Alsace, the European Metropolitan Express Network is to be put into service on December 11.

The Regional Express Network (RER) is the dense network of regional trains circulating in Ile-de-France at a high rate.

It has been regularly extended since the 1960s. "The RER is not only in Paris", we pleaded Sunday evening in the presidential entourage, underlining the project to "ensure that in the major French metropolises today "today congested, people who have commuter journeys can do so without a car, by decarbonizing their journeys thanks to these metropolitan RERs".
