    A quick note! The reason WHY it's the least used is becaue the RATP only count people coming IN, not coming OUT. And as trains only head west heading away from the centre of Paris, passengers don't come here if they want to head east into the city centre. If the RATP counted exits *as well* it may be very different ....

      RATP doesn't count passengers exiting the metro because you only touch in, not out in Paris. correct me if I am wrong, my knowledge is dated, it's been a while since I went to Paris

    Bakerloo = lines 10, 11 and 12. Old stock, lesser used, have extensions planned that probably will never happen.
    Central = line 1. Busy, frequent, touristy, goes out of the city both ends.
    Circle = line 7bis. It's not a circle, the train never shows up, no one likes it.
    District = line 4. It's a nightmare.
    H&C = line 9. Loads of stops and painfully slow.
    Jubilee = line 14. Shiny and modern even though it's from the 90s/00s, there's 4G signal, but the trains are super busy.
    Metropolitan = line 8. Goes way too far out of Paris.
    Northern = line 2. It's a mix of all worlds.
    Piccadilly = line 7. Old and noisy, trains are busy, the wait is always super long for the correct branch.
    Victoria = line 13. Living hell, there's ALWAYS a signal failure, and the colours on the line diagram match.
    W&C = line 3bis. Everyone forgets its existance.
    Elizabeth = line 18. It' won't see light of day before 2065 and neither should be considered subway lines.

      It may change in the next years for line 11, since the extension to Rosny Bois Perrier will open in 2 or 3 years, with new stock.
      Line 8, terminus Créteil Pointe du Lac : "Yay, I am the farthest station with the 6 km distance between me and the closer door of Paris !"

      Three types of trains have these handles in the Paris Metro :
      - MP59 (on the famous metro line 11, Geoff talks about it in the video...)
      - MP73 (on lines 6 and 11)
      - and MF67 (on lines 3, 3bis, 10 and 12)
      MP trains are on tyres... and unfortunately MP59 and MP73 trains will soon be replaced on lines 6 and 11 by the newest MP trains (MP89, MP05 and MP14)
      aaaaaaand... for "regional" trains/for the suburbs... VB2N coaches are the last trains which have these kind of handles. These old trains will also be replaced soon...
      Other metro/train lines in Paris have newer push-button doors... unless their doors open automatically!
      All the metro lines which have platform doors (lines 1, 4, 13 and 14) don't have buttons or handles on their doors because all the doors are opened automatically at each station.
      Basically, all modern trains in the Paris Metro open their doors automatically, that's why MF01 (on lines 2, 5 and 9) also have automatic doors (without buttons/handles)

    Fantastic collaboration, I really enjoyed watching this video. The Paris metro is old, cramped, tiny and weird but it has lots and lots of character. Each time I visit Paris, I enjoy traveling on the metro. Lines 10 and 11 have one of the oldest rolling stock of all the metro system. If you ever plan to make a video about metro train noise, don't forget to include the excellent noise of the MP89 rolling stock on line 14 and especially the noise of Z20500 trains on RER C and D.

      ​ @fire surfeur And yes!!! unlocking the doors allows the doors to be opened below 7km / h, hence sometimes the surprise of tourists because the train still rolls a little (the driver let it "slide" to the end of the platform).

    First time I was in Paris you didn't get free maps, you had to buy one. Early 70s I think. And you could still ride some of the old trains with manually opening doors which shut with a crash as the catches engaged. We rode on Line 6 which is elevated and crosses the Seine near the Eiffel Tower, on a train where you could sit behind the driver's cab and look ahead through a window. I was about 15 and in my element. Not so sure about the rest of the family!

    Hi Geoff - I've loved all your videos to date, so when you teased a while back that a Paris Métro video was forthcoming I was very excited. So a big thanks to you (and Tim too) for this and keep them coming! The Paris Métro is an incredibly unique system with a deep history, lots of quirks, and interesting hidden features. The other segments of Lines 9 and 10 in the area around Église d’Auteuil comprise some of the more fascinating sections of the Métro, including the never completed station at Porte Molitor.
    And since you highlighted the signature Art Nouveau entrance gate designed by Hector Guimard, it is my understanding that his studio was also in the 16th Arrondissement, which may explain the variety of entrance styles that have survived in this area.
    Thank you again for your continued work!

    Can we have a video comparing the differences between the London Underground and the Paris Metro? What's better and worse about each?

    • @sylvainldgo7361
      @sylvainldgo7361 3 роки тому +15

      I would say that in Paris Metro, stations are much more closer to each one (except for extensions in suburbs and line 14 which is a more express one), and that it really does not go as far in the suburbs than London Underground does (while the Metropolitan line goes to Amersham outside of Greater London, Paris Metro barely reaches Créteil in its maximal point, a town in the suburbs quite close to Paris if you look on a map).
      This might change with the future lines (15, 16, 17, 18) and line 14 extension to Orly airport that have been acted a few years ago, which go further in the suburbs.
      Also, while London Underground makes an effort for accessibilty even in older stations, Paris Metro... meh. It's really a big shame since only the line 14 is (fully) accessible to wheelchair users, all the others does not care (except for the most recent ones in suburbs, but it's not official since not indicated on the maps). There is a study to make the line 6 (the one with the most outside sections) accessible too, but it may take a long time to reach that goal.

    Visited Paris many years ago and wanted to see THE statue after going from Versailles. We found the station name "Javel" very funny because it is also a Norwegian word. It literally means "yes, well", but it is closer to "weeeell" and alternative to "ok"
