Paris Métro
The Paris Métro (French: Métro de Paris) is the rapid transit system in ParisFrance. It includes 16 lines, primarily underground, with a total route length of 213 km (133 miles), with 298 stations (382 stops) (245 of these are within the 41 square miles of the City of Paris - the most dense provision of subway stations in the world). Lines are identified by numbers from 1 to 14, with two minor lines, 3bis and 7bis, which were formerly part of their parent line and only later became independent. The system, which has become one of the symbols of Paris, is notable for the density of its network in central Paris, and for its homogeneous architectural style, influenced by Art Nouveau. The system was expanded later by an additional express network known as the RER to reach further suburbs.

Rapid transit
A rapid transit, underground, subway, elevated or metro(politan) system is a railway — usually in an urban area—with a high capacity and frequency of service and grade separation from other traffic. In most of the world, these systems are known as a "Metro." In London, the system is called the "Underground," in Buenos Aires "Subte," and in most of North America and in GlasgowScotland, "subway." The oldest rapid transit system in the world is the London Underground, which opened in 1863.
