Artists impression of Marseille’s future renovated metro
The two metro lines of Marseille, France, will be renovated and automated. The first train is scheduled for 2021, with complete operation of the two lines expected for 2024.
Medium-height platform screen doors (approximately 1.75 meters) will be installed in stations.
38 driverless rubber-tyre trains will operate on the network. They will be approximately 75m long and will comprise four cars each.
The tender for the engineering is already underway.
Lines 1 and 2 were opened in 1977 and 1984 respectively. The network is 21 km long and has 29 stations.
