Lesson plan
MP 05
The MP 05 ( ; ) is a rubber-tyred electric multiple unit with driverless operation ordered by the RATP in 2005 for the Paris Metro. The original 49 units were designed to allow the older MP 89s on line 1 to transfer to line 4 in order to automate the line. An additional fleet of 18 MP 05s was ordered for deployment on the line 14 by 2017 in order to improve service frequencies and to prepare for the line's northern extension towards Mairie de Saint-Ouen, as well as provide service enhancements to Line 1. The trainsets were constructed by Alstom. The MP 05 trains are the second Paris Metro rolling stock to include air conditioning, with the MF 01 rolling stock being the first.
