This is one of the Paris Métro's five rubber tire metro lines! The rubber tires are quieter on the viaduct sections, which is part of why Line 6 was converted. Interestingly the tracks and vehicles still retain steel rails and steel wheels, which are used for negotiating track switches and are a safety feature in the event of a flat tire.
