3Past, current and future transports in Paris I/ YesterdayA/ The early years (1900-1930)
I / Yesterday : a history of the underground
A/ The early years (1900-1930)
- First ideas of an urban railway system in 1845
- Decision to build an underground network taken in 1896, due to traffic problems and the1900 World’s Fair
- Project by Fulgence Bienvenüe,who wanted to build 10 lines(lines 1 to 9 today)
4Past, current and future transports in Paris I/ YesterdayA/ The early years (1900-1930)
- 2 companies were running underground lines :
* C.M.P (Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris)* Nord-Sud
- The Nord-Sud company built 2 lines
* Line A, inaugurated in 1910, joining Montmartre to Montparnasse* Line B, inaugurated in 1911, joining Saint-Lazare to Porte de Clichy
- C.M.P. bought Nord-Sud in 1930
- There should have been a third line whichhas never been built
- We can still see the old decorations in somestations

B/ To the suburbs
Network in 1930 Network in 1950
8 lines went out of the city : 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12
6Past, current and future transports in Paris I/ YesterdayB/ To the suburbs (1930-1950)
World War II forced many stations to close, and some never opened again
7Past, current and future transports in Paris I/ YesterdayC/ RER and others (1950-now)
C/ RER and others
In 1948, the C.M.P. is replaced by the RATP
The network becomes overcrowded => need for new trains
Sprague-Thomson in 1900 MP-59 in 1960
8Past, current and future transports in Paris I/ YesterdayC/ RER and others (1950-now)
Problem : underground lines stay inside Paris, and their stationsare close to each other
Solution : the RATP bought SNCF lines and built new undergroundtracks to create the RER.
- RER A was made by joining the "Ligne de Saint-Germain" and the"Ligne de Vincennes" and inaugurated in 1977
- RER B was made from the "Ligne de Sceaux" and then connected witha SNCF line going to Mitry and Aéroport Charles de Gaulle
Interconnexions still remain today

Past, current and future transports in Paris II/ TodayA/ Tyres or not ?
II/ Today : did you know ?
A/ Tyres or not ?
Some lines (1,4,6,11,14) use rubber-tyred trains instead of the traditonal steel-wheeled ones. Why ?
- Less noise in the open air (useful on elevated sections)- Easier maintenance- Better performance : faster acceleration, smoother
But :
- More noise inside the tunnels- More heat dissipated- More energy consumption
All lines should have been converted, but the project was cancelledbecause of its high cost.

C/ Where does my RER go ?
All RER trains have a name with 4 letters : SPOT, KRIN, PEPE, EFLA…What do those names mean ?
- The 1st letter indicates the direction. For the RER B :
A : Gare du NordE : Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 - TGVG : AulnayI : Mitry-ClayeJ : Denfert-RochereauK : Massy-PalaiseauL : OrsayP : Saint-Rémy-lès-ChevreuseS : Robinson
- The 2nd letter indicates at which stations the train stops
- Special code : WxWy. Used for trains taking no passengers, going from one terminus to another. Example : WKWI (Massy-Palaiseau -> Mitry)
