Paris Metro

In the French metropolis of Paris, there is a fast transit system called the Paris Metro. It is regarded as a symbol of the city and is distinguished by the capital's geographical borders' compactness, uniformity of architecture, and distinctive entrances with Art Nouveau influences.

Ten years after the London Underground, in 1900, the Paris Metro was established. the same number of stations as the Metro in Madrid at 302. However, since the Montmartre funicular serves as the 303rd "false" station and is a part of the metro system, we can even state that there are 303 stations. Over 4 million people use it every day, and over 1 billion people do it annually.

Without fanfare, the first line began on July 19, 1900, at the World's Fair (Exposition Universelle). The system quickly grew up to World War I, and by the 1920s, the center was finished. Extensions into the suburbs were developed in the 1930s. After World War II, additional trains were introduced to handle the increased traffic, but the network's design, particularly the close proximity of stations, has prevented future advancements.
