Transports in Paris

Paris (and its conurbation) benefits from an excellent transport network. This network is constantly expanding. With the extension of metro line 14 to Orly airport in 2024 and the opening of the new line 15 in 2025, not forgetting the future express link between Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and Gare de l'Est planned for 2027 (CDG Express), there is no shortage of projects. This will help to better meet demand and enable passengers wishing to take a taxi to probably wait less time at the airport. The main modes of public transport in Paris are bus, metro and RER.
