3. Past, current and future transports in Paris 3 I/ Yesterday A/ The early years (1900-1930) I / Yesterday : a history of the underground A/ The early years (1900-1930) - First ideas of an urban railway system in 1845 - Decision to build an underground network taken in 1896, due to traffic problems and the 1900 World’s Fair - Project by Fulgence Bienvenüe, who wanted to build 10 lines (lines 1 to 9 today)

4. Past, current and future transports in Paris 4 I/ Yesterday A/ The early years (1900-1930) - 2 companies were running underground lines : * C.M.P (Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris) * Nord-Sud - The Nord-Sud company built 2 lines * Line A, inaugurated in 1910, joining Montmartre to Montparnasse * Line B, inaugurated in 1911, joining Saint-Lazare to Porte de Clichy - C.M.P. bought Nord-Sud in 1930 - There should have been a third line which has never been built - We can still see the old decorations in some stations

5. Past, current and future transports in Paris 5 I/ Yesterday B/ To the suburbs (1930-1950) B/ To the suburbs Network in 1930Network in 1950 8 lines went out of the city : 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12

7. Past, current and future transports in Paris 7 I/ Yesterday C/ RER and others (1950-now) C/ RER and others In 1948, the C.M.P. is replaced by the RATP The network becomes overcrowded => need for new trains Sprague-Thomson in 1900 MP-59 in 1960

8. Past, current and future transports in Paris 8 I/ Yesterday C/ RER and others (1950-now) Problem : underground lines stay inside Paris, and their stations are close to each other Solution : the RATP bought SNCF lines and built new underground tracks to create the RER. - RER A was made by joining the "Ligne de Saint-Germain" and the "Ligne de Vincennes" and inaugurated in 1977 - RER B was made from the "Ligne de Sceaux" and then connected with a SNCF line going to Mitry and Aéroport Charles de Gaulle Interconnexions still remain today

19. Past, current and future transports in Paris 19 II/ Today A/ Tyres or not ? II/ Today : did you know ? A/ Tyres or not ? Some lines (1,4,6,11,14) use rubber-tyred trains instead of the traditonal steel-wheeled ones. Why ? - Less noise in the open air (useful on elevated sections) - Easier maintenance - Better performance : faster acceleration, smoother But : - More noise inside the tunnels - More heat dissipated - More energy consumption All lines should have been converted, but the project was cancelled because of its high cost.
