DON’T skip the bus in Paris!

Many visitors skip the Paris bus, but in this short video we explain why you should not. Taking the bus in Paris is your best move when there is no direct metro line between where you are and where you need to be, and since you are above ground, you can still sightsee while you ride.

What to know before you board

• Tap your Navigo card to get on.
• Signal the bus as it approaches, or it will not stop for you.
• Press the button when your stop is coming up.
• Always exit from the back.

How much it costs

When we filmed, a bus ride cost 2.05 euros. Save these tips for your trip, and you will find the bus is an easy way to fill the gaps in the metro network.
