A multi-choice questionnaire
On the dedicated site https://je-choisis-le-nom-des-stations.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/Ile-de-France residents will therefore be able to find a questionnaire on which several choices will be offered.
For example, for the future Saint-Denis Pleyel station, IDFM offers 4 choices to users: that of keeping the name “Saint-Denis-Pleyel”, or “Carrefour Pleyel” from the name of the station on line 13 located at proximity, or “Ignace Pleyel”, named after the musician and composer.
“We, Ile-de-France Mobilités, believe that the name of each station must be defined with the users, because they are the ones who know their territory best and the districts in which these stations will be located”, explains the organizing authority. transportation in a press release.

Eventually, the extension of line 14 to the south of Paris will connect the Olympiades station to the new terminus at Orly Airport in just sixteen minutes. Seven new stations will open by 2024, to transport 250,000 to 300,000 additional passengers every day.
Same scenario for the extension to the north of Paris, towards the future Saint-Denis-Pleyel station, which will be an important hub and nerve center of the Grand Paris Express. It will thus become the new terminus of line 14 to the north, thus replacing the current terminus of the Town Hall of Saint-Ouen.
