Paris Metro Expansion 1900-2030 (Métro, RER, Tram, Grand Paris Express) Animation

[@benedettobruno1669]

Paris Metro: the most dense in the world. On average you have 1 station every 400 metres. No wonder this video lasts 24 minutes.

[@eannamcnamara9338]

And that's why it's so great, no matter where you live there's a stop near you. The original designer said the goal was nobody had to walk more than 500 meters to reach public transport.

@@eannamcnamara9338 Definitely what I liked most about the metro when I used to live there. The bus always felt too complicated - and stuck in traffic anyway. And driving... Well, now I feel like a hero because I did drive the Arc-de-Triomphe roundabout and am still alive to brag about it. They should sell "I survived..." t-shirts about that one.

The former tramway network which was very big (but very slow in Paris) was completely closed between 1930 and 1940 (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancien_tramway_d'%C3%8Ele-de-France). And the Petite Ceinture (a circular railway) is also almost completely closed (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemin_de_fer_de_Petite_Ceinture).

London is also much, much larger in size and rail network.

[@HliarusProd]

@@richardwills-woodward that's because the author forgot the whole commuter trains network (Transilien) in this video

[@KyrilPG]

@@richardwills-woodward Not really, London is only larger if you compare them on strict municipalities basis which gives a completely distorted comparison. Depending on the way you measure surface one or the other will be larger but Paris is much more densely populated and doesn't stop at its administrative boundaries. Paris agglomeration is subdivided in hundreds of different official, legal or administrative structures whereas London isn't. London has incorporated several different administrative subdivisions whereas Paris is still administratively divided into hundreds of municipalities. But if you compare cities as a whole, the urban or metropolitan area, Paris is larger depending on the measuring reference and way more populated as the "official" (based on declarative survey, tax domiciliation and voting registry but many people are registered in their town of origin and not their real residence) count gives 12.5 millions while the unofficial and more realistic count (done by crossing health insurance data, cell phone data and several other practical real life references and datas) gives a count of more than 15.5 millions. Not including the suburbs of Paris is like considering New York is limited to Manhattan, not counting Brooklyn, the Bronx, the Queens and Staten Island as part of the city. For example, Paris "Central Business District" known as La Défense is not central at all and sits outside official Paris administrative boundaries, like if Wall Street and Midtown offices were located near Prospect Park in Brooklyn and you wouldn't include them as part of New York. It would be a completely false representation of the reality of the city. More than 4 out of 5 Parisians (using the name in its broader sense) live outside official administrative Paris city limits. For a long time the primary subway system called Métro was concentrated on the inner "official" city of Paris (while the RER, Transilien and Tram covered the city way more broadly) and has since a couple decades started to expand to the rest of the city as it's a contiguous and seamless urban area. The new expansion, Grand Paris Express, is doubling the length of the Métro and more than 95% of the expansion is outside the administrative limits of Paris, technically in the suburbs but is considered as Paris Métro without distinction. I'm pretty sure you've seen these skyline / aerial photos of Paris with the Eiffel tower and a bunch of skyscrapers around a modern arch in the background, it's a famous view of Paris but technically more than half of the photo is not in the administrative limits of Paris while its a contiguous and completely seamless city, the only way to know you're not "officially" in Paris anymore would be to look at stoplights and street nameplates as each administrative subdivision or city has its own design. As for the rail network you need to include all Métro, RER, Tram and Transilien and not only the Métro to be able to compare Paris and London on an equivalent basis. Limiting Paris to its administrative designation (75th department) would be like limiting London to the City of Westminster, which makes no sense. A simple way to have a gross idea of the real scale of the rail network of Paris is to have a look in Google Maps with the public transportation overlay activated. It's not complete as it lacks several lines of the Tram network and a part of the Paris equivalent of the London overground. It also doesn't show any of future lines. The Grand Paris Express project took some time to plan at the beginning as authorities initially worked with official survey and voting registry numbers who didn't correlate to reality and they wouldn't understand why some lines could be Europe's absolute busiest (RER A, supported by lines 1 and part of 14 of the Métro), or terribly saturated (like 13 at Saint-Lazare Station), both needing "people pushers" like in Tokyo. Since they started using cross reference data and more realistic numbers correlated to real life commute and population numbers, they successfully planned and started building an ambitious and extremely useful expansion on par with the needs of such a densely populated agglomeration. To sum it up, Wikipedia isn't a reliable source to estimate Paris size or population (or any other city in France for that matter) as they use "municipalities" and official numbers which are not a realistic approach due to the French exception of administrative subdivisions of cities. We already encountered the problem on a video from the channel RM Transit about the German high-speed network ; they wanted to demonstrate the difference in population balance between Germany and France but it was completely wrong as they listed very few French cities larger than 300K inhabitants, missing most of those cities (including one above a million) because they took Wikipedia's numbers based on the French strict administrative subdivision of cities instead of the "Métropole" or urban areas entities which are much more correlated to reality. Hope that helped dissipate misconceptions about Paris.

@@KyrilPG +1000 👍

[@richardwills-woodward]

@@KyrilPG I never go anywhere near any public places for information. I used companies' own analysis for the reasons stated here. London, when measured including ALL its suburbs is far, far larger then Paris - FAR larger. It encompasses a far larger landmass and holds 23.7 million people at 2011 numbers. Further, density is not of any interest to me, quality of life and dynamism as well as other factors. I neither think Paris' density is good nor bad and I do recognise your 15.5 million number for Paris - so we're aligned on that. Paris entire city (not is tiny administrative area) is Paris and when we analyse as a company for clients, our numbers are the same across other companies in different sectors (retail for instance). Your numbers for Paris, mine and others are the same - we agree and we align on taking into account the *entire* city. In New York, they now have 25 million people. There are only two cities with larger metropolitan area than London in area - they are New York and Tokyo. Paris, compared to London is large, but it is not in the same league. It has fingers the stretch over 200 miles end to end in a couple of directions, with the mass not as large as London's. London too has similar fingers and larger urban sprawl because we prefer suburbanisation as a way to live (and frankly, so do I). So we are very fair to ALL cities. We recognise the issues stated by yourself. We tend to agree too. Paris is indeed 15.5 million by our calculations. Paris has the 4th largest metropolitan rail system in the world (after Tokyo, London, New York) with Seoul now in 5th by our analysis but one or two cities are moving up the chain fast. One thing we can definitely all say, is the Shanghai is nowhere here the top (despite their claims) and with your analysis you will recognise this too. They also use short train apart from Line 1 for the most part. All the best. -R-

Tbh london has a good network that has been gradially expanding as well. But I think this is more of a Paris thing that they build gradually. Partially to split costs and reduce risks. One reason is because whenever a large scheme project is announced there is tons of opposition and outrage from citizens. But when they add a station here or there every few years nobody would really care.

[@richardwills-woodward]

@@Tonydjjokerit London is a brilliantly simple system to see thanks tot he mapping logic undertaken on the London Underground a century ago and then applied to the other metro networks over time. London has 3 maps (but could be 2 if TfL stopped being so precious about what it runs instead of benefitting the traveller) - a administrative London network and a wider urbanised landmass network (that also has stops and connections laid out like the original Tube map. I would argue Paris is doing the density part well and enabling the inner core be traversed by public transport easily as na option. Where it goes very wrong is the train types they choose, the lengths of trains and the built in future issues. In the current Grand Paris Metro - only half will consist of full length metro trains. The other half of the project is 3-car low capacity almost tram style services (which is still good and has its place but will prove an issue). The rest is extensions of already very slow and too frequent a stopping train service. Half brilliant and the other half I have questions. Paris should not repeat mistakes made int he past that is painful for it now. London will no longer build Tube lines for example - because the other metro rail types are simply better in an urban area that has far exceeding what Tube planners had ever envisaged. Paris is expanding quickly and indeed is doing far more than London right now. London is currently flat-footed in terms of building enough new lines to offer the options to take the train in most circumstances in London. London needs to densify its rail network yet further. It is already very, very large however, but radial routes need improvement in the administrative area. The outer urbanised area has good radial routes and close to central London. There is a gap in the middle tower than needs filling. It needs the Grand Paris Metro new metro underway that will be the longest continuous underground metro line in the world I believe. I think CR2, Bakerloo extension will both come first. I don't see London doing much before 2050!

Effectivement il manque les lignes TRANSILIEN!!

[@Desi365]

Congratulations and thank you for the hard work, Ashley. It's a nice vid, you deserve your like ! Just a minor thing about it: the extension of line 11 from Rosny to Noisy is probably never going to happen, it's not budgeted and one can tell they're dragging their feet. So it won't happen, most probably.

[@wowomanipulations9779]

May I ask you what program has been used to make such kind of animation in this case? Thanks.

[@foucaultlc4105]

Très bonne vidéo bravo ! Mais tu as oubliés les Transiliens, comme les RER il s'agit de longues lignes de trains qui relient Paris à la banlieue lointaine (lignes H, J, K, L, N, P, R, U), ainsi que les prolongements des lignes 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, le RER E et plusieurs tramways comme le T1... 😉

[@eddycheung1108]

Oui mais après est ce que les lignes de Transilien sont des lignes de métros à proprement parler. je te dirais non mais en vrai de vrai il a inclus les lignes de tramway donc Oui peut être.

[@foucaultlc4105]

@@eddycheung1108 L'idée de sa vidéo était plus de montrer l'évolution des transports (ferrés) en IDF. Donc je pense que les Transiliens ont toutes leurs places ici.

[@Clery75019]

Transilien network runs almost exclusively on major national railway tracks with hardly any dedicated infrastructure. So either we make all of them pop up in 2004, when their services got properly named or we go back to the creation of railway tracks which started in 1837! That would make quite a long video.

[@jambon2730]

​​@@Clery75019Half of RER network was also based on existant infrastructure such as RER A part between Vincennes and Boissy

[@Clery75019]

@@jambon2730 Indeed but what is shown on the video are openings of RER services, not their rail infrastructures. The oldest rail line in Paris was ligne de Saint-Germain, built in 1837, that is currently part of the RER A.

[@philippeduchamp3660]

great job !!! just 2 things : "PortE d'Ivry" and the extension of line 4 south to Bagneux which has been active since last wednesday

[@antoinebonnin6336]

Sympa mais il manque un des plus gros projets: l'extension du RER E jusqu'à Mantes pour relier l'ouest à l'est

Wow! It follows the streets! The Madrid Metro doesn't, I couldn't have imagined this, but when you think about it, it's like the most obvious way

you forgot the extension of the M4 to bagneux to the south in correspondence with the M15 ... and the T12 Massy - Evry (Versailles later) the total is 200km of lines for the extension of the M11 -15-16-17 However Good job!!!

[@clamormar]

An excellent amount of work. I'm not French, but the Paris network has always fascinated me, with this scheme you can perfectly understand the network and the timing of implementation. Thank you !

[@ClaudeBaudoin]

Brilliant, but unfortunately tons of errors in the captions, such as "Anthony" for Antony, "Louis Aragone" for Louis Aragon, "La Défanse" for La Défense, "Sarcelleses" for Sarcelles, some weird mangling of Argenteuil, and more. Would be nice if you could correct those.

[@francinesicard464]

Have noticed it too.

[@davidnhim5813]

Can you make a video including all the Transilien lines too ? :)

[@jasanand5597]

Thanks Ashley rabot! 😁👍

[@bernardlevrier8977]

There is a little mistake In 2006. When the T4 opened, it wasn’t a Y shaped line. A part of the branch has been added later.

[@Andrewjg_89]

I’ve been to Paris but not on the Metro. Looks very confusing but interesting. Maybe you could do other metro systems that is more confusing.

[@eannamcnamara9338]

it's simple enough to get a hang off. the rule that was put in place was that everybody must have a station within 400 meters and that trips should take no more than one change of trains. those rules are still mostly obbeyed and the map used on the metro is very simple and geometric making it easier to read than this.

[@Wotanraven]

Awesome video. I realise it's for simplicity, but the video doesn't show every metro/train stop. Just the main stations, but otherwise every line drawn has regular intervals of stations which aren't represented in this video. It's said that in Paris proper, wherever you are, you're about 5 to 10 minutes walking distance to a metro station.

[@archietompkins5065]

Half of this is a complete copy of a video Metro Liner published 3 months ago.... Yeah there's some stuff added but you've even copied how they display the year and captions, at least try to make it look like it's not copied...

[@dieosrororna7700]

Ikr.. he even used the same font. What's the point if the video looks exactly the same. At least he added tram lines and future expansion staring 2000s. This video just could've started there.

[@dominiquemuskad768]

Merci pour cette vidéo, il est difficile de se rendre compte de ce qu'on a, lorsque c'est notre quotidien. La construction des lignes de métro a été permanente sauf entre 1952 et 1967, époque où rien ne se construit. C'était le temps du tout voiture, voies sur berges et périphérique et moult projets, heureusement arrêtés, ces grandes radiales pour voitures, qui traversaient en éventrant Paris, le bétonnage de la Seine avait même été envisagé. C'est amusant que l'on en trouve des traces, comme un archéologue, dans cette vidéo.

[@aurelienh3492]

There are a lot of mistakes in this, most of them being names miswritten like "Autenteuil" instead of "Argenteuil" for example, Also Montfermeil's Branch in T4 has been in service since 2019, not 2006 and Transilien lines that are hardly any different than RER which you could have displayed in this too The line 11 extension from Bois-Perrier to Noisy-champs also been denied by the state's council and the route showed was wrong too Tramway T12 which is supposed to replace in 2023 RER C branch between Versailles and Juvisy is also not on this

1900: 2 years to build a full line 2020: 10 years to build 2 additional stops

[@paulplaiulla9033]

That's because of the way we built them. We dig much deeper now,. You must have noticed that the first tracks followed the same paths as the roads, that is because these streets were dug in and the tracks were laid there. We do not build that way anymore because of a number of reasons ( blocking big streets for months, can't dig too deep)

[@gregutdmglaucos3757]

Yes small enlargement, line 14 has just seen its length multiplied by two.

Awesome animation, love the Paris Metro. And who knew there was a tram stop called Robert Wagner, named after the famous star of eighties hit show Hart To Hart?! #UKTramsExpert

[@saiz95]

robert wagner est un homme politicien français, maire de la ville de Velizy et cette station qui porte son nom se trouve dans cette ville, c'est un hommage.

il a été oublié le prolongement éphémère de l'actuelle ligne B du RER (ligne de Sceaux à l'époque) de St Rémy à Limours en 1939, stoppé par la déclaration de la guerre ! elle aurait fonctionné une petite année en utilisant un autorail diésel. malgré tout, cette vidéo est très intéressante !

You've forgotten the extension which is about to be finished in January 2022 between Marie de Montrouge and Bagneux.

In Paris the "tram" (short for tramway) is a lightrail
