The Trans-Val-de-Marne, often abbreviated as Tvm, is a bus rapid transit (BRT) line operated by the RATP Group as part of the RATP bus network in the Paris metropolitan area. The line entered service on 1 October 1993, running almost entirely in a dedicated lane. The line facilitates travel from suburb to suburb within the Val-de-Marne department in the Île-de-France region. It replaces the former RATP line 392, which since 1969 has linked Saint-Maur–Créteil station and Rungis.
The Tvm connects to, serving thirty-two stations over nearly 20km (10miles). It has a special status since although it is a bus line, it is already administratively included by the RATP in the "T mode," alongside the tram lines.[1]
It is the busiest bus line in Europe, with 23 million passengers in 2019.[2]
