Line 1
The MP 89 CC is run on Line 1, which is manually controlled by the driver. It replaced its older MP 59 counterparts. Experimental program is underway on selected train-sets on a LCD passenger information system (Dilidam).
Line 14
The MP 89 CA operates on the Line 14, and is best known for being fully automatic without the use of any driver or cab. Similar to the Metropolis counterparts operating on Singapore's North-East Line, the trains ends offer passengers an unblocked view of the tracks ahead.
Lausanne métro
The MP 89 CA will operate on the line m2 of the Lausanne métro from 2008, with two-car trains instead of six-car trains in Paris.
