A GREAT DEAL FOR THOSE TAKING THE METRO! But also for those who haven't been on it lately…
European Heritage Days
According to the initially announced schedule, the first trains are expected to be in service by the end of 2024 on the M2 line of the Marseille metro. In the meantime, it was possible to visit the future trains during the heritage days, on September 21 and 22, 2024, from the La Rose depot in the 13th arrondissement of the city. Designed by the Marseille designer Ora-ïto, the exterior and interior design of the new metro trains in Marseille were chosen by the residents of the area, and they certainly caught the attention of the locals!
