2006 ridership of metro lines
Opening of a new subway station : Olympiade.
This station serve the main chinatown of Paris, Tolbiac university... Beautiful station, clean (obvious it is new), luminous. But I don't like the provisional toll gates :ohno: Actually the line 14 has 389,000 passengers per workday, with this new station the workday traffic is estimated at 410,000. Note that the estimation are always underestimating.

Dayum. When I see stations like that, I wonder why the hell the subway stations i have to use are so damn ugly.

Too bad it took so long to complete the extension. The first part of the line was launched nine years ago.

Nope the station Olympiade is integred at RATP map since the beginning of 2007.
The next new station of Paris metro will be Gennevilliers - Agnettes and Gennevilliers - Courtilles on the line 13, opening in 2008. |

This article, on the Parisien newspaper, say that the new french President want build Metropherique, the subway ring in inner suburbs. The estimated cost is between 5 and 10 billion €. This estimated traffic is 1 million passengers per day :) Actually it is only a project but the RATP can begin the construction in 2010. |
I love the metro, when I was there all the signs were prepared with "Olympiades" on them but they had "Bibliotheque" covering them so when the station was opened they removed the cover. It is amazing that all estimates are underestimates, but the line was definitely busy, and so deep considering it has to be below all the other metro lines and sewers and whatnot. Here, all estimates are overestimates. If only transit were half as good here. Only the east coast comes close. By the way, what is going on with the Opera station?

when I saw those figures, omg...
One single metro line in Paris carries more passengers than the whole public transport system in Melbourne:stunned: But how come my train is so crowded??:hell: |
In fact this is not the real ridership of these lines.
These numbers don't include lines transfert. So a commuter who take the line 1 and change for the line 2 would be only include in line 1 traffic. :( It is about the same thing for the subway station which count only the entrance. So according official data Gare du Nord is the most used station but in reality it is not the case. :koko: |

a)most of the US has a very low population density. Generally, only the northeast corridor has enough density to justify buidling such transit systems. b)because of the socialistic tendencies of Europe the taxes there are many much much higher than here, thus creating more funding for urban projects. c)Europe as a society is much older and has had much more time to develop. Yes the US is trying to catch up but with the suburban sprawl mindset of much of the country, I'm not holding my breath. |

^ The population of the US will increase by 33% by 2050, so you had better believe we're getting better transit. It's already started, with about 50 cities building light rail lines. Besides, NYC, Seattle, San Fran, are all building new subways.

SF getting a new subway? I haven't heard that, not that I'm complaining. But anyway, I think Paris has got to have one of the best integrated transit systems in the world between the Metro and RER. But I guess no system is perfect.
|
Paris has some problepm due at a high growth of transit user.
In 2004 (I have only the number of 2004) Metro = 7% RER RATP = 9% It is very high for a system with the ridership of Paris (Over the billion) And the investments are too low for this high growth This article in french is not so positive about the high user growth of Parisian transport Quote:
