Answer 3

By Bus

Bus travel in Paris has always had the reputation of catering to that very small population of people who actually have the time to sit in the bus and read a good book as it snails its way through impossible Parisian traffic. All that changed in 2002 when special protected bus lanes were created throughout Paris -- more than 41 km (25 mi) of them in every arrondissement except the 13. Travel time has been cut, on the average, by a whopping 50%; for example, a trip from Saint-Michel to the place de la Concorde now takes 9 minutes instead of the usual 25. This, of course is to discourage the stubborn Parisian population from taking their cars to work and creating impossible congestion in the city, but it can benefit you, too: Buses are a scenic, convenient, and efficient way to see the city, and the new ones are equipped with air-conditioning -- something to think about on those sweltering August days. Paris buses are green and white; route number and destination are marked in front, and major stopping places along the sides. The brown bus shelters, topped by red-and-yellow circular signs, contain timetables and route maps; note that buses must be hailed at these larger bus shelters, as they service multiple lines and routes. Smaller stops are designated simply by a pole bearing bus numbers. Of Paris's 250 bus routes, three main lines circle the grands boulevards and are known as the petite ceinture (small belt). These constitute bus numbers PC 1, PC 2, and PC 3, which run in a continuous circle covering the major portes, or entryways, into the city center. More than 200 other bus routes run throughout Paris, reaching virtually every nook and cranny of the city. During weekdays and Saturday, buses run every five minutes (as opposed to the 15- to 20-minute wait on Sunday and national holidays). One ticket will take you anywhere within the city; once you get off at any point, that ticket is no longer valid. Bus transport is ideal for the elderly, women with children (easy access with strollers), and anyone who likes to take the scenic route. Needless to say, seats are more difficult to find during rush hours. A map of the bus system is on the flip side of every métro map, in all métro stations, and at all bus stops. Maps are also found in each bus. A recorded message announces the name of the next stop. To get off, press one of the red buttons mounted on all the silver poles that run the length of the bus and the arrêt demandé (stop requested) light directly behind the driver will light up. Use the rear door to exit. The Balabus, a public orange-and-white bus that runs between May and September, gives an interesting 50-minute tour around the major sights. You can use your Paris-Visite, Carte Orange, or Mobilis pass, or one to three bus tickets depending on how far you ride. The route runs from La Défense to the Gare de Lyon. Fares & SchedulesRegular buses accept métro tickets, your best bet is to buy a carnet of 10 tickets for EUR9.60 at any métro station, or you can buy a single ticket on board (exact change appreciated) for EUR1.30. If you have individual tickets, you should be prepared to punch your ticket in the red-and-gray machines located at the entrance of the bus. You need to show (but not punch) weekly, monthly, and Paris-Visite/Mobilis tickets to the driver. Tickets can be bought on buses, in the métro, or in any bar/tabac store displaying the lime-green métro symbol above its street sign. Most routes operate from 7 AM to 8:30 PM (or 20h30 to the French); some continue to midnight. After 8:30 PM you must either take the métro or one of the 18 "Noctambus" lines (indicated by a brown owl symbol at bus stops). These bus lines operate hourly (1:30 AM-5:30 AM) between Châtelet and various nearby suburbs; they can be stopped by hailing them at any point on their route. Paris-Visite/Mobilis passes are accepted on the Noctambus. A regular ticket costs EUR2.30 and allows for one transfer. For additional bus information, contact RATP (Pl. de la Madeleine, Paris, 75008. PHONE: [phone], www.ratp.com, 53 bis quai des Grands Augustins, 75006.).

(2) subways also offer a competetive and convenient facility for the trip.Take the Metro. You're gauranteed a quick, cheap and colourful ride . A ticket on the Metro cost about 1.30 euros. If you intend to travel more than once, buy 10 tickets for 10.50euros and save! Just approach the person at the ticket counter and ask for a carnet (say CAR-NAY) of tickets. Of course, the proper way to say it would be, "Bonjour ! oon carnay sil' vous plait

If you're staying a week then make sure you get a Carte Orange which costs differing amounts according to how many zones you want to travel through/across. So you'll need to do a bit of research before you go. Best way is to pose a relevant question in the Paris Forum and some of our very helpful Parisien, such as Hamster Huey or Fossettes,(and other) VT members will help. The Paris Metro has 15 lines and nearly 370 stations, meaning that no building is more than 500 meters from a Metro station. An individual Metro ticket is about 3 Euros with a packet of 10 tickets (a Carnet) being slightly more reasonable. Tickets are also valid on the RER system. Both the Metro and the RER (Reseau Express Regional) are run by the RATP - Regie Autonome des Transports Parisiens. The RATP also runs the busses

Answer 4
