Paris Tramway Line 3 - T3a

T3a

T3a connects Boulevard Victor – Pont du Garigliano RER station in the western part of the XVe arrondissement with Porte de Vincennes metro station in the XIIe arrondissement. The line carries 112 000 people per day.

The first section, between Pont du Garigliano and Porte d'Ivry, opened as T3 on 16 December 2006. Work began in early 2009 on a 14.5 kilometres (9.0 mi) extension from Porte d’Ivry to Porte de la Chapelle, via Porte de Charenton. The extension project was then split into a smaller extension to Porte de Vincennes and a separate tramway line for the remainder of the route, which became T3b. The opening of the extension and renaming to T3a occurred on 15 December 2012.
