That was considered. A study was commissioned and concluded [1] against for several reasons :
- the projected impact on car use was negligible (around 2%) ;
- the projected increase in the number of users (between 6% and 10%) is above the current infrastructure capacity ;
- the new cost (3.3 billions euros) would be mainly supported by the Paris agglomeration inhabitants through their taxes rather than spread on all users ;
- it's already free for the poorest and heavily subsidised for most of the local.
