History

edit

Network development

edit

In May, 2018, Île-de-France Mobilités published a concession notice of Bord de l'Eau bus network including also Île-de-France tramway Line 9, by calling on potential candidates to come forward.[1] Ultimately, four potential operating companies were qualified by the organizing authority to compete, in the following categories: RATP Dev, Keolis, Transdev and Moventia.[A][2]

Competition opening

edit

Due to the opening up of public transport to competition in Île-de-France, the Bord de l'eau bus network became Seine Grand Orly on January 1, 2021, corresponding to public service delegation number 22 established by Île-de-France Mobilités. A invitation to tender was therefore launched by the organizing authority in order to designate a company which will succeed the operation of Keolis Seine Val-de-Marne for a period of five and a half years. It is finally Keolis, via its subsidiary Keolis Ouest Val-de-Marne, which was designated during the board of directions of June 14, 2019.[3][4] When it was opened to competition, the network consisted of routes 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 and Licorne.

Opening of service of Tramway Line 9

edit

In order to support the opening of service of Île-de-France tramway Line 9, The five lines of the Seine Grand Orly bus network were reorganized on April 12, 2021. All the routes (except Licorne) were renumbered. In addition, route 482 extended its service to the north as far as the shopping center, Belle Épine via Pont de Rungis railway station, and the route 10 which ran Juvisy station to Athis Plaine Basse was folded and a partial portion was transferred to Express 191.100.[5][6][7].

This next table shows the renaming of the bus network between old and new number routes.
