Public transport services in the Greater Paris - Grand Paris - developments and prospects

RER, Metro, Tramway - 2010, 2025, 2032

Referred to as the construction project of the century, the development of the public transport network in Grand Paris has been on an unprecedented scale. Over the last fifteen years, almost 200 stations have been created or connected and 108 new ones are to be added in the next six years. The study examines the multiple transformations of the network and their impact on the level of services for metropolitan residents today and in the future in order to provide insight into this mobility revolution.

Between 2010 and 2025, the extensions of the metro lines (4, 8, 11, 12 et 14), and RER E, the creation and extension of numerous tramway lines (from T1 to T12) and the opening of the Câble1 cable car have profoundly reshaped the metropolitan geography. These developments have widened the range of travel options within the same time span thus bringing residents closer together. The maps also show the reduced disparity in access to the Metro, RER and Tramway throughout metropolitan areas. Within Grand Paris as a whole, the proportion of the population living near a major public transport connection rose from 70% in 2010 to 76% in 2025. This could reach 80% by 2032. Outside Paris, where the majority of transport projects are concentrated, the proportion of residents benefiting from the provision of public transport services has risen from 56% in 2010 to 66% in 2025, with the target of reaching approximately 72% by 2032.

These changes have been accompanied by the bus network being expanded facilitating access to new stations and other public transport access points. In 2025, about 95% of the metropolitan population lived within 300 metres from a bus stop. In addition, the cycling infrastructure has continued to develop, contributing to this new, increasingly integrated and evolving mobility system that renders almost the entire metropolitan area within a 15 minute bicycle ride to a station or stop on the mainline public transport network.
