Challenge
- Connect the Industrie district in Vaise to the Confluence district, passing through the Presqu’île.
- Provide an attractive and environmentally friendly mobility solution, fully integrated into the TCL network.
- Accelerate the development of a unified, multimodal public transport network.
Solution
Since April 2024, and for a duration of 8 years, SYTRAL Mobilités has entrusted RATP Dev and its partner Les Yachts de Lyon with overseeing the construction of the boats and operating the River Shuttle, integrated into the TCL network, through its subsidiary RATP Dev Navette Fluviale de Lyon (RD NFL).
For the Lyon Metropolis, RATP Dev is committed to reviving the historic legacy of the "bateaux mouches" and supporting SYTRAL Mobilités in offering a new, attractive, and environmentally friendly mobility solution, fully integrated into the TCL network.
Our goal is to transport 560,000 passengers per year over 6.2 km of the Saône, connecting the Industrie district in Vaise to the
Confluence district, with two stops on the Presqu’île. To achieve this, we rely on four fully electric battery-powered boats and the dedication of our team.
