 RER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Nevertheless, the acronym RER is commonly used to describe the network that is currently being planned for the Brussels region, and also for major cities of Switzerland (S-Bahn in German).
The RER is composed of lines dating from the 19th century, such as the Ligne de Sceaux or the Paris-St Germain-en-Laye line (the first railway in France) and the Vincennes line, joined together in tunnels under the centre of Paris.
In fact, the whole system is built out of SNCF lines, but in the first phase, the government transferred the right to operate the lines from the SNCF to the RATP (Saint-Germain-en-Laye line, Vincennes line; the Sceaux line had always been operated as part of the metro system).
