Paris 2024 Olympic Games: the extension of line 14 will open “at the end of June”, confirms Valérie Pécresse

The president of the Île-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse, confirmed once again, in an interview with Le Parisien, that the extension of line 14 from Saint-Denis-Pleyel to Orly-Aéroport would open at the end of June, i.e. a few weeks before the Games. “In May the RER E extension from Saint-Lazare to Nanterre will open. Then, at the beginning of June, the extension of metro line 11, towards Rosny-Bois-Perrier, and at the end of June, line 14 from Saint-Denis-Pleyel to Orly-Airport,” explains the region's representative on a daily basis.

Line 14 will be an essential artery, since in Saint-Denis there are several Olympic sites including the athletes' village and the Stade de France. For years, the entire construction schedule has been set so that everything is ready before the Games.

Furthermore, the envelope to cover the costs linked to the Olympic Games in Ile-de-France transport now amounts to 250 million, compared to 200 million originally budgeted, announced the president of the region. “Paris 2024 asked us to do more than expected,” she explained. The organizer “asked for 50,000 free Navigo cards for the police, which we obviously gave” and he “also asks us to transport the 200,000 accredited people”, a point which is the subject of negotiation with Paris -2024. Added to this are “JO bonuses negotiated at the RATP”.

The workforce will be reinforced. “The SNCF and the RATP told us that the recruitments have been carried out. Namely 250 additional drivers in the metro, and the SNCF will also call on around a hundred provincial drivers. As for the bus, 3,000 drivers will be mobilized.

While 100 celebration zones are planned throughout Île-de-France, IDFM plans to reinforce Noctilien buses (from 12:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.) “including in the suburbs”. On Friday July 26, “for the opening ceremony, which should end around 11:15 p.m.”, IDFM is also studying “the possibility of leaving the three automatic metro lines (1, 4 and 14) open all night”.

To facilitate travel, “the Navigo pass will be dematerialized on iPhone in May, the Transports Paris 2024 application has just been released and visitors will soon be able to purchase the Paris 2024 pass to travel during the Games,” indicated Valérie Pécresse.
