- The history and the future expansion plans of the Paris Metro and RER (Réseau express régional d'Île-de-France) are shown in this animation.
Note:
Transfer stations are counted multiple times for each line.
In earlier days, openings of intermediate stations were often delayed several weeks. These delays were omitted in the video.

I already know how I'll spend the next 22 minutes
Same...
I have literally used every single (currently existing) line in this video yet I still can’t bring myself to stop watching 😂
How ?
Do you mean 23 minutes?
@@attasaravani3048ohhhh, right
19:09: This section has been transferred to Tramway line T12 (to be precise)
That's right, but the express trams are classified under Transilien.
@@KyrilPG In some lines: T4, T11, T12 and T13 and its affiliations
@@SteevenKraichiT4 is not classified as a transilien, it has standard T+ ticketing and not origin - destination
@@ronylouis0 The other tram lines too. The T4 is well affiliated with Transilien Est (based in Noisy le sec).
Transilien is just an SNCF brand for the region of Paris, everything operated by the sncf is Transilien, even RERs
Small anecdote, the "Montparnasse" station was renamed "Montparnasse Bienvenüe", in homage to this hero designer of the Paris metro, Fulgence Bienvenüe, this station which serves the Montparnasse station, station of the train lines (and TGV) which are going to the Brittany region, Mr Bienvenüe's region of origin.
Sauf que personne ne dit "monparnasse bienvenüe"
@@dien971 Effectivement, c'est plus simple malheureusement.
@@magnetique12 oui
@@dien971 bah si la voie de la 13 elle dit à chaque fois "Montparnasse Bienvenüe? Montparnasse Bienvenüe carefull to pick pocket"
@@thunderbolt8409 jte parle des gens pas des voix du metro
Great work but unfortunately a big part of the network is missing on this map. The Transiliens lines H,J, K, L, N, P, R, U, V which started operations in the 2000's, the tramways lines T1 to T13 which started circa 2010's. They are integral part of the local railway network.
It focuses on the metro and RER which it calls interestingly express metro
@@etbadaboum It's not called express metro. RER means Express Regional Network. It's a train not a metro.
@@puccaland Pedantic bickering. A metro is a train too. And the RER have a top speed up to 140 km/h, faster than most Parisian metro. You have metro overground and RER underground.
@@etbadaboum Facts aren't pedantic bickering. A train isn't a metro whatsoever and you just explained why the RER isn't a metro. Overground and underground never defined whether something is a train or a metro. All the RERs are way faster than the metro. Even RER A which almost always stops at every stations like a metro. The usage of a metro is completely different from the train.
@@puccaland Then why the GPE will be designed as a metro while going as fast as RER? You are just trying to put barriers where they doesn't exist. In Seoul there's the GTX, a high-speed metro and increasingly in Chinese tier one cities, three systems of metro with different speeds. These barriers only exist in your head, pedant.
Now THIS is the one I've been waiting for! Amazing video 🎉
Awesome video! Love the rework of the original Paris video. I even learned a few new things that happened in the past and some of the future extensions happening.
Looking forward to more content from you. Perhaps a remake of New York is down the line? 🤔😊
Thanks always! New York will be the next remake. It might take some time though since I want to do some new cities in between.
@@MetroLiner Oh cool, looking forward to seeing a remake of New York and whatever other cities you plan to do in the meantime.
Fantastic work!
Wow, it must have taken you hours and hours to make this.
It's probably the most detailed, accurate and nicely presented video about Paris Metro and RER evolution I've seen. Kudos!
If there's an update sometime, it would be great to also include the tram network that recently developed massively and is expected to grow even more. (There are 360km of new lines and extensions to open between now and 2032 between all networks, excluding regular bus).
Plus the Transilien lines for good measure. 🤣
This would be the ultimate spaghetti bowl with fruitloops colors. 👍
How many km of metro do you think will open in the 2030s?
@@etbadaboum We've yet to know the details and definitive paths of the proposed lines or extensions and the yet unknown new lines.
The 360km I mentioned are "only" what's firmly decided and-or traced., like RER E West, tram extensions (T1, T10, etc.), proper busway bustram BRT lines, and the GPE, of course. It is IDFM's own estimate.
For metro lines or extensions built in the 2030's, we'll have to wait and see what's decided in the coming months and years.
Things like :
The extension of the Grand Paris Express from Versailles to Nanterre la Folie or la Défense (and possibly to Saint-Denis Pleyel) that should be decided on in the very near future.
The possible extension of OrlyVAL and probable integration into the metro network (with the addition of infill stations between Orly and Anthony).
The 19th line proposed by IDFM recently.
A series of extensions of the historical metro lines further into the suburbs as demanded by numerous elected officials from these locations.
Etc.
It's unclear if M1's Eastern extension will be built and opened in this decade or not. But it seems like it's going to be in the 2030's.
As for the GPE itself, more than 100km of tunnels have already been built, out of 180km (plus roughly 20km at grade or elevated on M17 and M18).
Since late February 2024, the entirety of M16's tunnels has been built. As for M17, all tunneling up to the aerial part is finished. And on M18, the tunnels from the Saclay viaduct to Orly airport are finished too.
The chunk of tunnels that remains to be dug is mostly the Eastern and Western sections of M15 (plus the Northern most section of M17 after the aerial section and Western section of M18). These two sections of M15 should start tunneling operations soon as surface works have already begun in several locations.
The most complicated bit seems to be the station under la Défense and should be the last one to be completed.
The tunnels of M15's Eastern section should be completed in 2027 or 2028, even though they won't be ready for service till probably 2030.
Personally, I'd love a continuous expansion, like a GPE 2, and 3, and 4... because, even with the current planned lines, the network is and will still be saturated.
Especially if we want to reduce car use to the exception in the suburbs.
So I hope the projects of RER F and G will be revived (there were some talks recently), and potentially another cross-city rapid line like M14 on another busy corridor.
The SDRIF (Schéma Directeur de la Région Île-de-France) is full of projects that wait to be launched... each version is a goldmine of possible future developments.
And often, previously abandoned projects (or pushed to the back burner) are revived and launched after being updated.
The SDRIF for 2030 planned for +240km of new metro, +70km of new RER, +75km of new tramway.
We seem to be pretty much on the right path to reach that goal.
A version of SDRIF setting the goals for 2040 has been issued, including 70 public transportation projects and 750km of extensions. It's very interesting.
@@KyrilPG Gold comment! 🪙 You should get you own blog!
Congratulations on your precise work! The Paris metro, and the RER, are so complex that it took a lot of time and patience to create your video! It's so complex given the huge number of stations and the fact that they are so close together! Fulgence Bienvenüe, one of the designers of the Paris metro, it seems to me the main designer, wanted everyone to have a metro station less than 500 meters from their home to benefit from much faster transport and without mixing with the surface circulation. Mr Bienvenüe wanted in particular to compete with trams and horse-drawn surface transport, with stops very close together. This is what makes this very Parisian particularity of the metro, and all the work that it required from the miners who did almost everything by hand, with a pickaxe and with lots of imagination, like the iron stations sunk into the ground by sinking with compressed air boxes!
What a fantastic job, awesome !!!!
For those who don't know Paris region transport system, there are many more lines with transilien trains, tramways and very soon the grand paris express and the cable line C1 ❤
please add transilien network next time :-)
Plus Trams
ca va ressembler a un plat de nouille :)
transilien is just Pre RER ...alot of rer lines were transilien and then upgraded to RER standards
@@aymanla471 Yep, and that's just the start. RER will replace all existing Transilien. For exemple, the RER E extension from Chelles-Gournay to Meaux is only one of the existing "Transilien P" lines that does from Paris-Est to Meaux.
@@aymanla471 i am really not sure what you call "rer standards".
Transilien line J is far more : clean, reliable while having more trains at peak hours (at any hour really) than RER line C or D.
The only RER "standard" is to go underground paris intra muros at some point, while transiliens stop at main train stations like saint lazare or montparnasse.
Without transilien no daily commute for 90% of the peoples
As a Parisian I am surprised to learn that some stations were already built in the early 20th century. I believed that like what we've been experiencing those past 20 years they were added throughout the years. In fact most of the network was built in the early 20th century, then nothing, then the RER network in the 70's, then nothing, then line 14 and a few additional stations here and there, then the Transiliens, the tramways and now a massive extension of the network in all directions.
As a Parisien, I love it. A little mistake : on line 15, opening of "Villiers-Champigny-Bry" is delayed, maybe not before 2030 !
Me too
Also Line E will call at this station in the next 3 years to add a new connection with the new line 15 there.
omg, I never realized how paris build those metros like crazy for the past 100 years, and continue to do so! We do take it for granted and complain for its dirtiness, but it's just amazing to visualize this way this gigantic project! Bravo on the video too!
Paris has the balls to extend both during WW1 and WW2
The speed of development never really decreases, almost extending every year.
Now I understand why this took three whole months. Its a lot of work!
and it does not even include the whole network
@@cdrw92 Yeah. Also trams. This just shows Paris actually cares about public transportation, unlike most cities in a North American country.
The 90% of construction works of extentions of lines 5 and 8 were finished by the French themselves before 01.09.1939. They finished the rest without support of Nazis.
@@JdMsk Obviously. Why would the Nazis support France in building the metro? I just said that during WW2/Nazi occupation, they still managed to extend the metro.
@@robloxgday2024 I'm not in details of this period of the construction except the fact they had build the most part of tunnels before occupation in juin 1940 (I made the mistake, not to 01.09.1939).
The Nazis let to finish the extensions cause all urban busses were confiscated and sent to the German needs. Then the first beneficiary was the German authority cause it facilitated movements of German soldiers in Paris.
Great work. Miss the tramways and the transiliens lines for an exhaustive map :(
What's the differences between RER and Transilien??
@@kanojune5754 Transilien are classical régional trains (Ter in french for train express régional) with terminus in Paris gares (Gare de l'est, Gare du nord, etc...). Rer cross Paris intramuros are connected with métro network and lines end in suburbs. Transilien are managed by SNCF, RER are managed by SNCF and RATP.
@@LaurentSFN sooo if it was Tokyo equivalent (my city's rail system is based on Tokyo), then the RER are rapid metro/subway/private railway and the Transilien are the JR East suburban rail lines?
@@kanojune5754 something like that ;) except RATP is a public company.
@@LaurentSFN aha, i get it now, thank you for the explanation
I love these videos !
And as a parisian, it’s so interesting to see the evolution of this network
Thanks !
Maybe a transilien video next ? :)
Great vidéo 👏👏 the RER's history is very interresting !
Merci, c'est un très beau travail. C'est impressionnant de voir à quelle vitesse certains travaux ont été effectués surtout au début.
I'm fascinated by the history of this network. Great video!
Amazing work, I'm going to Paris this summer so I was familiarizing myself with the metro network, this surly helped a lot...
The Paris Metro is still expanding with more lines being built and more trains as Paris’s population grows. I have been to Paris and it’s an amazing city in France.
Incredible work as always! Looking forward to the day we get a video for Madrid's evolution :D
Madrid metro with cercanias, that would be amazing.
I'm alreadty to watch almost 23 minutes from this amazing channel
Fantastic video! Thank you.
I quite dislike the new way and positioning when it comes to the line information in this one tbh. In the past, the information were pinned in the down left corner. Now its all over the place and changes the position on the screen all the time, so its sometimes really hard to follow. Especially when you show all the station names when a line is brought up, it gets really messy. And on top of that, the line information is often hidden behind the regional map in the top right. F.e. in 5:38, 5:50, 6:30, 6:35, 6:50, 7:20, 7:40, etc.
If you like to show all the station names when a line is brought up, you should keep the line information in a steady position again or at least keep it very prominent with a half transparend backlayer or something like that. And it shouldnt vanish in the background of the regional map.
But, despite of all the criticism, good work when it comes to everything else.
Thank you for taking the time to write a feedback. I will try to adjust it in the next video.
I would really like a video about the metro in Budapest.
I love the music you put from 1990 to 2020, continue with this one
This was a great video👍 You gotta do Philly next! I would love to see the Evolution of the Metro System of the great city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Amazing video! Can you do Athens metro next? It is a very underrated system and it's older than most people think.
Nice video dude, I like the futureristic lines!
amazing work !!
I LOOOVE PARIS! Thank you for this video I am highly addicted to it.
Could you please do an updated video on Madrid? Including subway and cercanías, plus future expansions
beautiful and so precise!
great video. please make one about the Kyiv Metro next, thanks!
Good Video like always!
Thank you!
It's great ! Now we need the same video with tramway and Transilien lines 😃
this is absolutely wonderful work, the only small thing is that at 14:37, when the RER A expands towards Poissy, it shows that the line diverges from the main one at Achères Ville, rather than the (correct) Maisons Laffitte
I'm incredibly impressed by all this effort tho
Vidéo déjà prête pour 2035-2040 !
nice work
I know you probably have a lot of questions like this, but what do you use to make these animations, because your work is really insane and I want to have a go at trying to make stuff like this myself. Keep doing what you do!
Great video!
I AM FRENCH BORN AND I LIKE PARIS....BUT I WISH TO WATCH TORONTO, CHICAGO, NY, BUDAPEST, SHANGHAI AND BARCELONA METRO LINES....TOO!!!!!! THEIR WHOLE HISTORIES!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!
Great video! You should do Philadelphia at some point
Very good video, well done ! However, you forgot about the second extension of line 11 from "Ronsy - Bois Perrier" to "Noisy - Champs".
Inexplicably missing: the shuttle line from Porte des Lilas to Pré-Saint-Gervais (1921-1939), and the planned reactivation of that shuttle together with another single-track line from Place des Fêtes to Porte des Lilas to merge lines 3b and 7b (planned 2030)
It isn't planned at all, dunno where you saw that.
@@NTLyesYTnot sure, Wikipedia has it as vaguely scheduled for 2030 but that's as of 2013, so who knows.
@@NoLongerBreathedIn Okay, just so you know, that's IDFM's way of saying "yeah, maybe, sometime".
They haven't even launched any type of study on the feasibility/cost/usage.
L'extension du RER D vers le sud en 1996,je m'en rappelle bien. C'était ma première année de lycée et j'étais presque tous les jours en retard. Les conducteurs du RER ne voulaient pas faire la distance à partir de Creil jusqu'au bout de la ligne.
1996 c'est aussi l'année de l'attentat du RER B à St Michel et 1997 celui du RER B à Port Royal.
nice ! very good animation
Who loves watching these while playing mini Metro?
Great video, I love it! May I request that you do Boston and/or San Francisco please? Thanks!
Amazing!
You forgot that the original system had 8 of 18 stations, with another 10 being infills.
Can you do NYC Remake next with stops? (And possibly add Metro North/LIRR/NJT soon)
Brilliant. Do you plan making Munich metro evolution?
One of the Best videos i have ever seen in my entire life.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Edit: well kind of.
Can you make the evolution of Brussels' metro and premetro??? (btw awesome video!!!!)
Excellent job! If you take requests, Chongqing would be awesome.
Cool like always.
Excellent video. But at 19:53 the proposed Aerofret station is nothing but a development proposition, and it hasn’t yet become an official project. And there is a second planned extension of line 11 to Noisy-Champs, but there is no given date for it.
The line 11 extension is quite likely to be cancelled now though, no fundings have been given and the subject is carefully avoided
@@Ellister29
Elle va être prolongée en Juin …
@@user-gw8it3su2n je parle de l'extension jusque noisy-champs !
I do think that not including transilien makes the network seems a bit inaccurate. For example, the south RER D is planned to be fused with a new line S to rely directly Gare du nord and Malherbes branch way faster than the current RER D forcing to take another train at Juvisy
Amazing work! How do you animate this thought, i want to learn to do this too
I love this! Haven’t seen your stuff - definitely a new subscriber! Question though - why not include the Transilien network (H onwards) as they carry 300k plus daily each in some cases?
Also, small detail, historical accuracy I’d probably use the station names at the time as the main name and just change the names when the year happens? But that’s minor.
I’d put a shout out for the Toronto subway and regional rail network - the largest single regional rail system in North America. With the new expansions to both systems - underway and planned there’s lots of stuff there. Tho it’s a breeze compared to Paris, 😂. Happy to help if I can. Are you on Patreon?!
I love how it gets to 1154km without including the Trams and Transilien, which would have doubled the size. I'm pretty Sure Isle De France already has, or will soon have, at least half as much rail as Greater Tokyo, which is pretty crazy, as it has under a third the population.
2:27 Please check the history of the station Monparrnasse-Bienvenue. The line 4 was not connected to the line 5 in 1910. There were two separate stations : Avenue du Maine on the line 5 and Montparnasse on the line 4. The line A came to Montparnasse the same year, 4 and A were connected each other but not the 5 on Avenue du Maine. The last were renamed to Bienvenue in 1933. With arrival of line14 in january 1937, platforms of 5 and 14 were connected but were still isolated from Monparnasse station of lines 4 and 12 (ex A). Six month later Monparnasse and Bienvenue were connected with long couloir and became the single station.
Excelent video
Awesome! Please do Montréal 😀
Es una ciudad única!!! Increíblemente con una inversión en metros y tren !!!
Can’t wait to see! The next should be Kuala Lumpur and Shanghai.
BTW, you forgot to use Wikipedia to check the opening of each station.
Watch once for the metro animation, play again in the background for the music 😊
Très beau travail, sa doit etre la meilleur video de ce genre sur paris
Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas le reseau de tramway, ni les ligne de banlieux de transilien
I love the video
Porte de Vincennes - Porte Maillot did open in July 1900 but Concorde, George V and Reuilly-Diderot didn't open til August. In September Charles de Gaulle-Etoile and Argentine opened along with 5 others, but not sure which ones. It's quite hard to get accurate info.
would it be possible to do an Australian series? Especially Sydney (Sydney trains and metro) and Melbourne (Metropolitan trains, metro tunnels and SRL).
you should make a video on the history and future of manchester's metrolink tram system!
Why can’t América do this
Oh how I wish we could build subways at this pace here in the United States...
greater! please next to evolution Budapest Metro 1898-2040
Love the music at the start. What’s it called?
Congratulations for so long I wish you do malaysia one
Definitely the most interesting metro in the world. At least one of them without a doubt
Too bad this doesn’t show the tramway network, the biggest in the whole country
could you do Barcelona's Rodalies (train regional network) and metro?
Hello, good video! You would have to take the Buenos Aires metro, my city!!
As an important note, all projects of extension to the east of métro and RER lines after 2030 is far from being agreed and are still being discussed for the best case scenario or only an idea that is coming back from time to time. The 4th Terminal for CDG airport is still under discussion and will unlikely be ready in 2030.
Cool! Can you tell how you draw such diagrams, or make a tutorial?
What are the music titles of the video please?
Has there been word about the frequently talked about combination of the 3-bis and 7-bis into one singe line? I think it would have been a Line 19.
Possibly, but a line 19 has been officially proposed recently by IDFM and the region as an extension to the Grand Paris Express.
This 19th line would link La Défense or Nanterre la Folie to Triangle de Gonnesse (and possibly up to CDG) via Argenteuil, forming a Northwest arch.
I understand it was rescheduled to open in 2030.
A recommendation, for the next city with that many lines, I will recommend lines that have similar colors to use some pattern lines instead of solid lines. I am having so much trouble trying to follow how RER Line C is heading into the city
Ну до 2024 года - понятно, но планы - под вопросом. Спасибо за видео.
Почему под вопросом? Стройка идёт полным ходом, без существенных задержек.
What an INCREDIBLE, educational video. I had no idea how much infrastructure was ALREADY THERE, with so much more coming -- as Paris' plan to much more "embrace" the suburbs and reduce automobile use. Wow.
Perhaps the best metro system in the world
What do you use for make this videos?
What about navette between 7bis and 3bis? Great video
This lasted a few months
Can try to do the Bucharest Metro?
What is the music in this video? Especially the last one cuz it is a banger
The music used in the video are:
01. Oliver Michael - ever since - Instrumental Version
02. Flint - Cloudy Skies - Instrumental Version
03. Crazy Paris - Spirits in Orbit
04. Notize - Ultraviolet - Instrumental Version
05. Oliver Michael - Awake - Instrumental Version
Also you could/should (well it's easy to say) add something about the Transilien network and about the tramway lines.
Maybe another video.
Can you do Cercanías Madrid for the next video please?
I don't think the extension of line 1 to Val de Fontenay has been budgeted, has it ?
Oh we're being FED today darling
Also, I know as an American I have no stakes in this but watching the system develop made me turn into the "That's enough... THAT'S ENOUGH SLICES" meme.
It’s actually even bigger if you include the Transiliens (8 lines) and the Tramway (14 lines) :))
Awesome, do athens next !
It's very hard to keep track of the stations given how almost half of the station's names are rotated.
