Travel in Paris with RER
Today, I decided to talk about high-speed metro in Paris. In Paris, there are two types of metro. The first type is the usual subway called Metropolitain, a network which covers the city and some suburbs. The second type is called the metro RER (regional express network station). RER covers the entire Paris region (Ile-de-France). About him today, I want to tell me more.
Let's start with the fact that Paris and its region is divided into zones. Is a kind of ring around Paris. In total there are 7 zones, Paris itself includes the first and second zones, the remaining zones surround it. The division into zones made to order to charge travel to the region. Price depends on travel from far and where you plan to go. The more zones you will cross the more expensive it will cost you to travel.
Buy a single ticket is not profitable and very expensive. If you come for a week or longer then it is most advantageous to buy a ticket. Travel tickets can be bought for a week or month and year. The longer the travel the greater the savings. Travel is divided into zones as their actions. Detailed prices can be found on the site RATP section Titres et tarifs.
Important To take advantage of travel you need to bring a photograph. Otherwise, the travel will be considered invalid and you may be fined. Control RER lines is continuing.
The network consists of five RER lines. Each line has its own distinctive color. The lines are called A, B, C, D and E. Each line has a few lines, all lines are numbered, so you can see such names C8, B4. Where the letter is addressed to the line and the figure is the direction where you will. To make it even more interesting to ride on the RER train, each has its own name it is formed from a few letters, usually from four. I tend to not pay attention to them, but they also mean something, most likely a station where the train stops, but I may be wrong.
To the first time to choose the right train and go where you want to go there, it is worth every effort. First you can go to the site of RATP and there to see train timetable. This will help you but you must be careful, sometimes for technical reasons, the schedule can be shifted. Therefore, the second always look at the monitors on which the written schedule of trains going from the place where you stand. Choosing the right path from which you uedite, you will help pointers, many of them important to watch carefully.
When you have somewhere to eat important to know the direction of the train (its terminus), plus on the big screens to watch so that your station was on fire in front of a light which shows that the train would stop at your station. Otherwise, guessing the direction you were surprised traveled without stopping your station:)
Useful information: on the line are located in airports, on the tench is a European Disneyland, on the line with you will be able to get to Versailles.
If you travel then before you open all the directions, do not afraid to make mistakes, if you somehow are not sure where to go or the train gets you to smile and ask for help. French wonderful and open people, they will explain where to go and show what to do. The main thing is not shy and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Bon voyage.
