I hope Paris change its metro trains very fast because the oldest are very unconfortable.

I'm interested to know, what is the tph (trains per hour) on each Paris Metro line, I heard it was quite high.

On rush hour I think it's close to (if not over) 60. That's a rough estimate though as I don't have the numbers for each line.

During peak hours, there is one train entering station (each way of course) every 90 seconds on lines 1 and 14, and every 105 seconds on the other lines. That may be a good start for an answer.

I thought it was much higher, especially on 1 and 14. It's still a far cry from the 3-5 minutes at peak hours we get in Bucharest.

Wacked cool guy! Wish I had his equilibrium at peak hours, when I can't hold on to the bar. Good thing people around me make for decent "airbags".

Hey, how come this vid wasn't posted?!

You've made a little mistake in the youtube link (you shouldn't post the = sign between [youtube] tags).

Here's the video:

That was an amazing video! We need that kind of thing on peak hour transport here as it's SO dull!

Bit like Hamburg and Berlin with the S-bahn that actually runs on dedicated tracks using a third rail power supply complimenting a U-bahn system in both cases.

In Oslo, our metro system also crosses the Oslo border. Metro uses third-rail system, while normal trains uses overhead power. In Barcelona, the metro uses overhead power aswel as trains.

RER might be a local train system, but I feel its hard to say that it is not a metro system. Metro in Oslo got more stations on surface than underground aswell.

Well, actually is a feeder for the Metro system. It's a banlieue-city linking network that carries more people.

I'm visiting Paris on December, by the way. And if it's God's will we'll be able to bring tons of pictures from the Metro and RER.


P.s. Why i can't find this kind of thread in the French forum?
