Métro: Paris by bus

    Getting TO/AROUND: Don't get me wrong. The parisian metro system is clean, reliable and fast. However, I enjoy traveling by bus a lot more. What a pity to go to Paris and miss on all the monuments, typical streets, boutiques and boulangerie...
    Buses have special streets or separated areas (great around peak hours)
    Most bus stops have signs indicating the time of the next bus

    Only negative point: you have to use a ticket each time you hop on a different line... Shouldn't be a problem if you purchase a weekly pass ...

    Getting TO/AROUND: 1) The RER line B will take you directly to the left bank (Saint Michel) for 10euros. As you'll exit the metro station, you'll be right in front of Notre Dame.
    2) the AIR FRANCE bus (for 10euros) they'll take you to Montparnasse, Champs elysees ou Porte Maillot - buy your ticket as you enter the bus
    2bis) the bus "ROISSY BUS" will take you for about 9euros to Opera - tickets to be purchased as you board
    3)If you'd rather take a taxi, plan on spending a minimum of 50euros... be carefull on rush hours... you might get stuck on the highway with a taxi charging and charging...
