PARIS METRO: Paris Metro Paris has a huge 14-line metro network that worries foreign tourists at first glance with its dozens of connections. The construction of this huge network connecting the city east-west and north-south started in the 1900s. Paris Metro, which gives the impression of a different city underground, must be seen with its professional musicians, entertainers, theater and cinema advertisements, and passengers running around without stopping.

The human rights statement written on the inner walls of the Concorde stop, the walls reflecting the signed quotes from poets and writers in St Germain, and the Peruvian, French and British musicians at the entrance of the St Michel station, are the colors that should not be missed.

The Paris Metro carries an average of 4,5 million passengers per day and operates with 62 stations, 297 of which provide connections to other lines.

The Paris Metro, which has become one of the symbols of Paris, attracts attention with its stations located in the city center and its architectural structure built by being influenced by Art Nouveau. in total, 211 km length of this rapid transfer system 16 even has.

Metro Lines are numbered from 1 to 14 and there are two smaller lines called 3bis and 7bis. While these were branches of the 3rd and 7th lines, they later turned into independent lines. 86 of the station entrances designed by architect Hector Guimard still maintain their original state today.

History of Paris Metro

In 1845, Paris, city administration and railway companies were planning to establish an intra-city railway network. Two different views raised during this period caused various discussions and consequently delays. The view that railroad companies accepted was the addition of a new underground network to existing city lines, as London also implemented. On the contrary, the opinion of the city administration was to establish a completely new and independent network that has no connection with the existing line. This conflict between the two sides, which lasted from 1856 to 1890, prevented the construction of the network.

During this period, the rapidly increasing population and the traffic problem in the city of Paris revealed the fact that if the network was not built, these problems would not be overcome, and eventually began construction work in 1986.

The starting line of the Paris Metro was opened with a ceremony in 1900 during the World Exhibition Universal Exhibition. The system expanded very quickly until the outbreak of World War I, and the core of the subway network was completed in 1. The construction of the first extensions to the neighboring suburbs out of the city center was completed in the 1920s. In addition, Line 1930 was completed in this period. After the pause during the automobile age (11-1950), many other suburbs were also included in the lines with extensions.

Technical decisions were made based on the design of the original network, distances between stations, trains with a small number of passenger profiles, and limits that define extensions. Additional carrying capacities, and the growing tramway network, were supported by the Regional Express Network (RER) network created since the 1960s. At the end of the 20th century, however, the Paris Metro opened the fully automated Line 14, to alleviate the burden of Line A of the RER network. Line 14 was the first line opened by Metro, not RER, after 70 years. Special security doors were used to prevent suicide attempts on trains on this line without drivers.

Paris Metro Accidents

The subway network has also witnessed some accidents in the past and present. While 10 people died in the fire that broke out on August 1903, 84, such a disaster was not experienced for a long time with the measures taken. On August 30, 2000, 24 people were slightly injured in Notre-Dame-de-Lorette Station due to a problem with speed and loss of control. Finally, on August 6, 2005, 19 people were injured in a fire caused by a short circuit in a train at Simplon Station.

The company, called the Paris Metropolitan Railway Company (CMP), which operates most of this transport network, is known briefly as Métropolitain. In the first few years, this name was abbreviated as Metro. Today, a public transport company called "Régie autonome des transports parisiens", which operates part of the RER network, as well as the bus and tram lines in Paris and the surrounding suburbs.

Trains operate between 05:00 am and 01:00 am every day of the year at each networked station. As of December 2006, they started to serve until 02:15 on Saturday nights and before the holidays. The stations are planned to be open until 2007:02 on Friday nights as of December 15.

On special occasions such as New Year, the Fête de la Musique or Nuit Blanche (White Night), the network is partially open all night. This is specific only to base stations and lines (1,2,4,6), some stations on RER lines and all stations belonging to the automatic line (14).

Paris Metro Fees

The only ticket used for standard pass is called "t" (ticket). This ticket is valid for 1 hours throughout the Metro and in the 2st district of RER. It can be purchased as a single piece (1.40 Euro) or 10 (Euro 10.90). There are also types of passes that can be used without limit. The pass, which can be found weekly and monthly, is called "Carte Orange" and the daily one is called "Mobilis". In addition to the annual one (Integral), there are also 2-3 or 5-day passes frequently used by visitors to Paris, which are called “Paris Visite”.

Beginning in 2001, the kademeli Navigo Pass ?? will gradually gradually replace carte orange. has been put into service. These are personalized tickets that can be refilled monthly or weekly. Unlike other non-magnetic tickets, these tickets are RFID substructure and contactless smart cards.

Passengers entering the Metro entrances with regular tickets or passages insert their tickets into the machine before entering the turnstile, and then pass the ticket from the machine. This ticket, which they should carry with them during the journey, should be shown to the officials when requested. When using Navigo Pass, it is sufficient to approach the card to the sensor in the turnstile and even when it is brought close enough, the machine does not even have to be removed from the wallet for reading.
