Transportation in Paris
The Paris public transport system is run by RATP and consists of the Métro (underground), Tram, RER suburban express train (which interconnects with the Métro inside Paris), bus and Noctilien (night bus). Paris and its surburbs divide into 6 zones. Zones 1 and 2 cover the city center and ALL Métro lines.
The Métro alone is very efficient and will take you anywhere you need to go within Paris city limits, and sometines slightly beyond. Buses are less reliable but still offer a good service. The Paris Metro is very easy to use and, given the traffic congestion in Paris, is often much faster than taking a taxi. The various lines are numbered and color-coded. You need to identify the number of the line and name of the station at the end of the line in the direction you wish to go so that you know which way to go in the station.
RATP tickets and passes are valid on the Métro, tram, buses and RER. Fares vary according to number of days and travel zones selected. For more information on transportation, tickets and passes in Paris, visit the Travel passes and prices webpage.
RATP offers maps for the metro, RER, tram and bus lines that make up the Paris transport network. They are interactive and downloadable in PDF format.
