Paris Line 14 and RER Line E transfer "bonus"
RER Line E(St. Lazare-Magenta(Gare DU Nord)-then out into the
suburbs); Line 14(St. Lazare[just extended]-Madelene-Chatlet-...-Bibliotheque Nat) are both newly constructed lines and it appears that "correspondences"(transfer points) are different for these than for (most) other lines--you totally exit the Metro system and then do the transfer. For example: You can travel from St. Lazare on line E, exit at Magenta; conduct business at Gare du Nord and with your initial Metro ticket transfer to any Metro line in that area. In reverse you can arrive on Line E at St. Lazare, spend some time shopping at the "Grand Magasins"[Au Printemps, Galarie Lafayette--major department stores in the area]and then board a Metro all on your original ticket. Lots of other combinations are possible. My guess is that the cost would have been prohibitive to have the transfers all within a single controlled area. [There are a few older line transfers of this type, but they are in "out of the way areas."] |
