Metro: the Paris Metro, although a bit shabby and dirty, is a vast network and a convenient way to get around with stops all over the city. There are 16 lines in total with 380 stations and most of the city’s main attractions are accessible by Metro. Distances between stations are usually very short, meaning you are never far from a station in the heart of the city. There are a number of different ticket options, with single journey tickets and carnets of 10 tickets the most common. There are a range of passes available, although these are not always tourist-friendly and some of them require photographs to purchase. Bus: bus travel in Paris is usually only used for destinations that cannot be reached by Metro or by train, as travel in rush hour can be quite slow. Metro tickets can also be used on the buses and the bus network is generally easy to negotiate. Inside the vehicles, there are electric signs to inform passengers of what the current stop and remaining stops are. Paris has a network of night buses, known as Noctambus, although women are advised not to travel alone on these. Taxi: like buses, taxis can be slow to get around, especially during rush hour, but they are a convenient means of transport. Taxis can be hailed on the street, but at times it can take you a while to successfully hail one and there is no guarantee that they will want to take you to your destination. | |
