	Railway Technology - Paris Metro Meteor Project New Automated Line
		Now Paris Transport Authority (RATP) is working on mass replacement of its train fleet, further extensions to the network and installation of a new signalling system to improve the quality and efficiency of the metro.
		The Paris Metro system carries more than 1 billion passengers per year on the 16-line network and the planned extensions will allow improved travel opportunities in the suburbs of Paris.
		The entire Paris Metro consists of 16 routes, including two lines that were branches of others, but are now seen as lines in their own right.

	Automating the Paris Metro - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com
		Paris is not the first city to install a driverless metro line—30 or so cities, such as Ankara, Copenhagen and Vancouver, already have automated lines, and 20 more are under construction.
		What makes the Paris Métro's effort so extraordinary is that it's planning on renovating the line's aged infrastructure—replacing switches and control networks and so forth—without so much as a single day of downtime.
		Paris engineers are acquiring expertise in the art of replacing old cables, computerizing tracks with sensors that exchange data with the trains they carry, reinforcing rails to handle higher speeds, installing new signal equipment and tunnel cameras, and building operation-control rooms.

	Paris Metro map and Metro facts
		Metro lines used to be known only by the names of the final stop at each end.
		On the Paris Metro map, you’d want to identify the line your stop is located on, as well as the final stops at each end of that line.
		Whether you’re navigating with the help of a Paris Metro map or not, the key to not getting lost in the Paris Metro is to keep track of the end stations (the name of the line) in the direction where you’re headed.

		I used the Paris Métro Handbook which is filled with photographs of Métro stations to help decide what stations were must-sees.
		An unusual configuration for Paris by itself, this station is more unusual in that the north side track is merely a non-revenue connection from line 9 to line 10, and there is a chain-link fence along the platform edge.
		To finish our full day of riding the Paris Métro, we rode the number 7 south stopping first at Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre and then on to Place d'Italie, a station with an island platform that is actually part of a loop and stabling area for the number 7 trains.

	Paris Metro hotels, reservations and city guide
		Metro maps can be found posted on station walls; however, considering you are unfamiliar with the French language, it may be difficult remembering the necessary information (especially with connecting trains) and writing it down somewhere allows for a lot more mistakes than simply carrying a map.
		When you find on the city map what station is closest to the particular destination you want to go, you simply refer to the railway map to see which train (or trains, as there are connecting railways) runs between that station and the one nearest you.
		This is how you will navigate the metro stations, by following the station signs that post your train number or letter and thelist of final destinations, which distinguishes twotrains of the same number/letter (and color) traveling in opposing directions.

		Tickets are valid on either the métro, buses, or the central Paris RER trains (zones 1 and 2), as well as certain select venues, such as the funicular at Montmartre.

	City Mayors: The Paris Metro
		Paris first ‘public’ transport was the horse-drawn Omnibus (or coaches), which began service in 1828.
		Paris’ Métro trains run on the same gauge as all other French lines, but other trains are incompatible with the network itself.
		Paris’ Métro is feted the world over for the iconic grandeur of Hector Guimand but expecting the whole of the network to conform to this chic stereotype is like expecting to find tree-lined boulevards or cafes of chin-stroking intellectuals in the more deprived red belt suburbs.
