Bus 7825 is an express line that marks a turning point for the residents of Bréval and surrounding communities. Until now, workers had to make several connections, notably via Mantes-la-Jolie. Now, they have a direct route via the A13 and A14, serving the towns of Longnes, Dammartin-en-Serve, Septeuil, Vert and Auffreville-Brasseuil. Saving time and making fewer changes, the residents of these towns in the 78 region are delighted to see their journeys made easier.
But the good news is that this is not the only new bus line to be created. The aim is ambitious: to create 45 new bus lines by 2030 to connect the outer suburbs to Paris more effectively. The success of this line is reminiscent of that of theA14 Express, already linking Mantes-la-Jolie to La Défense, with 10,000 passengers a week. These new lines aim to take 75,000 cars off the roads, helping to reduce CO2 emissions in a region where sustainable mobility is becoming a priority.
This new transport offer meets a growing demand from new residents, often attracted by the demographic development of these rural communities and facilitated by the boom in telecommuting. It was essential that the transport offer keep pace with telecommuting and residential development.
With this economical and ecological alternative, the new 7825 line offers three daily round trips from Monday to Friday, with an average journey time of 45 minutes between Auffreville-Brasseuil and La Défense. From La Défense, it's easy to reach other areas of the capital, thanks to numerous interconnections with RER lines A and E, L and U train lines, Métro 1, Tramway T2 and various other bus lines.
This initiative is part of a wider policy aimed at boosting the attractiveness of rural areas while reducing the ecological footprint of commuting. By making it easier for Yvelines residents to get around, the Île-de-France region is demonstrating its commitment to modernizing the transport network while adapting it to new lifestyles.
