19 Paris Transport: RATP
The public transport system in Paris is governed by the RATP. For
visitors to the city, the three main modes of transport you are likely
to deal with are the Metro (the subway/underground system), the RER
(commuter railway which also provides an express alternative to the
Metro), and the bus. In addition, the RATP runs buses from the two
airports Orly and Charles de Gaulle to various points in the city of
Paris.
Some surburban lines for the Paris/Ile-de-France region are run by the
French railway company SNCF (see section 4.1). You will need separate
tickets for the SNCF trains.
For information and a detailed map of the metro and RER lines, please
refer to the RATP website at <http://www.ratp.fr.> This site is
available in French and English. Please note that the range
information provided in English differs from the French version. Also,
you might find some difficulty in navigating the site, that is normal.
