Transport - Getting around Paris
Paris has an excellent public transport
system. It is divided into five zones radiating out from the centre
and ticket prices vary according to the number of zones required.
Public transport consists of buses, an underground metro and
express trains (RER). Taxis are also available. The easiest way to
get around is on the metro and the subways are generally safe at
all times. It is possible to transfer between the metro and the RER
trains at no extra cost. The bus system is also extensive, but is
slower, less frequent and often more expensive than the metro.
Various passes are available for public transport and can be good
value if staying for a longer period. The Paris
Visites pass is valid for one, two, three or five days
and also allows discounts at certain museums, shops and
restaurants, but will not necessarily save money, depending on how
much one travels. There is also the cheaper weekly or monthly
Carte Orange (passport photo required), but this
is technically only available for Ile de France residents. Both
allow unlimited travel in the chosen zones on the metro, RER, buses
and the funicular to Montmartre. The cheapest option if only in
town for a day or two is the Carte Mobilis,
which allows unlimited travel for a day in Zones 1 and 2. From May
to September a passenger boat, the Batobus, offers sightseeing
trips on the Seine stopping at the main attractions, and from April
to September a Balabus bus service loops around most of the major
sights in Paris every Sunday and on public holidays. A nightbus
service, Noctambus, covers the city between 1am and 5.30am. Only
think about renting a car if planning excursions from the city as
aggressive driving, confusing one-way streets and impossible
parking can be testing for visitors. Taxis are readily available
and can be hailed or caught at taxi
ranks.
