The French prime minister Manuel Valls, the mayor of Montpellier, Philippe Saurel and Languedoc-Roussillon Midi-Pyrénées regional president, Carole Delga inaugurated the final 1.2km section of Montpelier Line 4, marking the completion of France’s first ring light rail line.
The first phase of Line 4 opened in 2012 and with the completion of the final phase the line is 9.2km long with 18 stations, including 10 interchanges with lines 1, 2, and 3.
The EUR 44 million Line 4 began service in 2012 but it took four more years to complete the missing kilometer, because of the many historical monuments along the line.
The service on Line 4 uses a fleet of 10 Alstom Citadis low-floor LRVs.
