23. Conclusions The great
Paris
Evolution of the public transport in Paris Region in 3 steps
Creating a dense metro network adapted of the needs of Paris
inhabitants
Creating and improving RER lines to transport suburb inhabitants
Connection of the different RER lines in Paris
Loop lines around
Paris
Today, the network is no longer adapted to the
demand.
The future is to connect one suburb to another without going through
Paris
