Veolia's proposed double articulated bus for rapid transit showed up, although in presentation poster sized proportions.
Still operating across the northern rim
of Greater Paris from Saint-Denis with enroute stops at La Courneuve, where the picture was shot, Tramway T1 is set to be considerably extended as far as Reuil-Malmaison, west of Paris. Completing the planned extention will take more than 10 years.
Yet, hard working line 304 shows its limits at peak time. At time two or three articulated units may be trailing to each other
as seen at Nanterre-Université
On normal times, intervals rarely exceed 15 minutes
Serving scores of strategic locations, such as the general hospital, across both Colombes and Nanterre, bus 304 is reportedly set for replacement before work on T1 extension can actually start. Not operating across downtown Paris, but still a RATP arch-rival and even a nemesis on outside tenders, Veolia also reportedly inked a deal
according to which the BHNS/Bus-à-Hauts-Niveau-de-Service (Hight Level Service Bus) as the BRT/Bus Rapid Transit is refered in French will be operated on behalf of the legacy transit authority as a replacement for Bus 304 until the Tramway extension is completed.
