A key project for the future of travel #
This initiative aims to reduce traffic congestion and encourage the use of public transport.
Scheduled to be operational at the end of 2025, LEX 1 will connect Muret Nord station to the Basso Cambo metro in just 35 minutes. A stop has already been unveiled near the Ford Route d’Espagne roundabout, marked by the symbolic planting of a young lime tree.
Policy implications and community support #
During the launch, André Mandement, mayor of Muret and president of Muretain Agglo, underlined the importance of the project for the quality of life of residents. This project is the result of close collaboration between the State, the region, and various local partners.
Sébastien Vincini, president of the departmental council, affirmed that this project represents a “big bang” for local mobility, committing to significantly improving traffic conditions in an area particularly affected by traffic jams.
Reactions and perspectives of the municipalities concerned #
