An integrated company, we have developed unique transversal expertise in operations, maintenance and engineering. This provides us with a thorough understanding of all types of urban transport across the chain, starting with the preliminary studies and advice given to local authorities, through to the running and maintenance of complex networks.

Strongly established in the Île-de-France region

Historic operator of the Paris metro, we operate and maintain a multi-modal network in the Île-de-France region that ensures the continuity, quality, performance and security of over 3.3 billion journeys per year: 206 km of lines and 302 metro stations, 117 km of regional train lines (RER) and 66 stations, plus a 105 km of tram network, 4,700 buses, etc.

For this, we work in close collaboration with Île-de-France Mobilités, the organising authority for public transport in the Paris-Île-de-France region, responsible for organising, coordinating and financing public transport for the region’s passengers. Together, we strive to improve our networks, in particular by increasing the number of people responsible for passenger services, assistance and security. The 2016-2020 contract plans to invest 8.5 billion euros in upgrading and developing the network, which includes 4.2 billion euros of its own funds. Extension work is currently under way on four of our 14 metro lines.

Our Bus2025 plan, together with the support of Île-de-France Mobilités, aims to make major technological and ecological transformation by converting all of our 25 bus depots to electricity and biogas by 2025.

Thanks to our Métro2030 plan, the metro is currently undergoing one of the largest upgrading programmes since its creation. Capitalising on our expertise, and as part of a global approach, each line will be completely upgraded before 2030 to ensure that Paris becomes the city of tomorrow.

We are one of the key players in the creation of the Grand Paris Express, which will double the Paris metro network by 2030:

• Both the north (to Saint-Denis Pleyel business centre) and south (up to Orly airport) extensions of automatic line 14 will triple its length, forming the back bone of the new network;
• To ensure smooth and easy connections, studies and adaptation work has already started on the metro and suburban railway stations that will interconnect with future lines.

Global presence

Our Group is present across five continents, from London buses, to fully-automated metro lines in Doha and soon in Riyadh, and trams in Brest, Tucson, Hong-Kong and Florence.

Whether for the designing of a whole transport network, operating or developing existing networks, we adapt to the needs and particularities of our customers with custom solutions to meet local needs.

A new legal and economic model for its historical market

RATP operates its historical networks in the Île-de-France region as part of a contract with Île-de-France Mobilités, the organising authority for public transport in the Paris Île-de-France region.

The ARAF (French rail regulatory body) law of 3 November 2009 on the organisation and regulation of rail transport reformed the RATP’s legal and economic model for the first time since 1948. This law (article 5) has adapted the passenger transport regulations for the Île-de-France region to the European OSP regulations regarding the opening to competition of passenger transport in 2009 .

The public transport market in the Île-de-France region is now open to competition. Île-de-France Mobilités must ensure competition between Île-de-France operators for all new services. For all existing networks, a transition period has been planned:

• 15 years for the bus network;
• 20 years for the tram network;
• 30 years for the metro and the RER suburban lines networks.

RATP owns the Île-de-France infrastructure networks that it operates (metro, tram and RER suburban lines). It is responsible for managing and ensuring the safety of these networks and also keeping them in good condition.

The rolling stock (buses, metro, RER suburban lines and tram) is owned by Île-de-France Mobilités.
