A light tram at the gates of the City of Light.
From this Saturday, it is possible to leave Porte de Choisy (13th arrondissement) to reach Orly-Ville by tram in about thirty minutes.
The T9 tram has been put into service and crosses the municipalities of Ivry-sur-Seine, Vitry-sur-Seine, Thiais, Choisy-le-Roi.
The T9, punctuated by 19 stations, takes up part of the route of the bus line 183 but in "twice as fast", indicates Ile-de-France Mobilités, thanks in particular to its dedicated traffic lane and a frequency of passage of a tram every 3 and 30 minutes during rush hour (every 5 minutes when it is put into service).
A particularity of this tram, it is distinguished "by an interior and exterior covering traversed by continuous light lines", hence its name "light tram".
A design chosen during a consultation with Ile-de-France residents and which had collected 42,000 votes (two thirds for this luminous design).
This “light tram” will be found on the T10 tracks between Clamart and Antony in 2023.
