Metro Lines

The Paris metro was born in 1900, on the occasion of the Summer Olympics. Nowadays, the network serves Paris intra-muros as well as nearby suburbs. The Paris metro carries over 1.5 billion trips per year. Today, the Paris metro has 16 lines, including 2 bis lines, serving 303 stations. While most of the network is underground, some lines have above-ground sections. The over 225 km of lines create a network throughout the capital. The lines operate from 5:30 am to 1:15 am on weekdays. 2 lines are fully automated: line 14 since its opening and line 1 since 2011.

RATP operates the metro network and works daily to improve it. Every year, it renovates the infrastructure, trains, and optimizes passenger information channels. To cope with the constant increase in metro ridership, RATP has already replaced many trains with longer trains.

While only line 14 is currently fully accessible to wheelchair users, RATP has launched the Accessibility Mission program to improve comfort and enable all users to use the metro.
