Public transport in Paris and the Paris region is constantly evolving. While the arrival of the Grand Paris Express network is eagerly awaited, other metro, tramway and RER lines are due to be extended beforehand, such as line 11, extended to the east, and RER E, extended to the west.
On the tramway side, the T3b will be extended to Porte Dauphine, providing better service to the western part of Paris. At present, the T3b runs between Porte de Vincennes (12th arrondissement) and Porte d'Asnières (17th arrondissement), serving more than 20 stations, including Porte de Bagnolet, Porte de la Villette and Porte de la Chapelle.
This Friday, April 5, 2024 , starting at 11 a.m., 7 new stations will officially open on this tramway line. The T3b, the busiest streetcar line in the Paris region, will be extended by 3.2 kilometers to Porte Dauphine, in the 16th arrondissement, with only 15 minutes separating Porte d'Asnières from Porte Dauphine. In all, the T3b will cover a distance of around 17 km from Porte de Vincennes to Porte Dauphine.
What about these 7 future stations? The T3b extension will serve the 17th and 16th arrondissements of Paris, with the opening of stations Square Sainte-Odile, Porte de Champerret, Thérèse Pierre, Anny Flore, Porte Maillot (Palais des Congrès), Anna de Noailles and Porte Dauphine (Avenue Foch), its next new terminus.
