Paris public transport information
Taxi in Paris
Unlike other international cities, taxis in Paris generally have no standard colour or distinguishing pattern; they are simply marked with a taxi light on the roof.
To hail a cab, look for a taxi which shows the light illuminated, indicating that it is free.
There are many taxi ranks situated throughout Paris, as you are not permitted to hail a taxi more than 50 metres away.
The meter will show the fare, but extra fees do occur, for example with luggage to be handled.
Metro and bus in Paris
The Paris Métro is the second busiest metro system in Europe, moving millions of passengers around the city every day.
A symbolic Paris monument, it's known for its Art Nouveau style, over a huge network of metro and RER train lines.
There are 16 metro lines, numbered and coloured. RER train lines are lettered A-E.
Check out a map of the Paris Métro.
Lines run from 5am to 1am daily and later on Friday and Saturday nights. On certain holidays, for example on New Year's Eve, there are special services which run all night.
The standard one-journey t+ ticket costs 1.50 Euro and is available at any machine or kiosk. It is valid for 90 minutes over the whole metro network, including bus, métro, tram and zone 1 of the RER. For multiple journeys, the Carnet offers better value, with 10 tickets at just over 11 Euro.
If you're not in a hurry, the bus network in Paris gives you easy sightseeing opportunities. Check out a map of the Paris bus network.
