Bièvre bus network, is a French bus network running in Île-de-France, operated by public transit operators RATP Cap Île-de-France. It started its operations on August 1st, 2022.
It consists of seven routes, including two school routes, which mainly serve the basin of the Bièvre.
Bièvre bus network is now made up of eight routes from the former bus network Le Paladin, mainly serving the municipalities of Hauts-de-Seine including Antony, Châtenay-Malabry, Clamart, Le Plessis-Robinson and municipalities of Essonne including Massy, Verrières-le-Buisson and Wissous.
On January 2, 2006, the network was significantly expanded with the creation of routes 8, 9 and 12.
On May 26, 2007, the network is undergoing an initial restructuring with a simplification of the route 8 and the abandonment of service to Sceaux and Bourg-la-Reine by route 12.
On August 26, 2013, route 1 is diverted through Wissous and the district Saint-Éloi.
Due to the opening up of the competition of public transport in Île-de-France, Le Paladin changed to Bièvre on August 1, 2022, corresponding to public service delegation number 37 established by Île-de-France Mobilités. A call for tenders was therefore launched by the organizing authority in order to designate a company that will succeed the operation of Transdev Bièvre Bus Mobilités for a period of eight years. It was finally RATP Cap Île-de-France, via its subsidiary RD Bièvre, which was designated during the board of directors on October 12, 2021.[1]
At the time of its opening to competition, the network consisted of routes 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 12, 15 and 18 of the former bus network, Le Paladin. Routes 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 16 and 17 are integrated into the Vallée Sud Bus network.
From June 26, 2023, the routes are renamed according to a new numbering system implemented by Île-de-France Mobilités. Routes 4 and 12 merged to become route 412.[2] In addition, some lines see their routes modified.[3]
From June 24, 2023. RATP Cap Bièvre also operates Tramway route 10.[4]
As of June 26, 2023, the Bièvre network is one of the first to apply the new principle of unique regional numbering planned by Île-de-France Mobilités, removing duplicates concurrently with the commissioning of the Île-de-France tramway route 10.[5] The correspondence between old and new numbers is as follows, line 409 will have a new route.
This next table shows the renaming of the bus network between old and new number routes.
