Services available in our metro and RER stations

Since 1992, we have been conducting a large-scale accessibility program to make 57 RER   and   stations accessible for persons with reduced mobility: installation of elevators, wider passageways at ticket gates, and staff training to assist persons with reduced mobility. These stations are clearly indicated with the  pictogram on our line maps.

In addition, to further enhance mobility, we now offer a service that allows you to find out the current operating status of elevators, escalators and moving walkways in stations on lines   and   

For your comfort, we have also installed public restrooms in our passenger areas. RATP staff in our stations and at our information and ticket desks can provide you with more information. Note: to access certain public restrooms, you must have a valid ticket or travel pass.
