Transportation

In Paris, as in any megalopolis, there are several modes of transport. Metro, bus, rapid metro (RER), taxis, commuter trains and trams have recently emerged. And, of course, can not forget the special buses, which will help you get to the Airport. Charles de Gaulle, as well as trains. But that would have been easier for you to choose the type of transportation, we will tell you more about each of them. 
The most public of them - the subway. 
Metro. 
The Government of Paris in the creation of the underground planned their maximum accessibility and simplicity. This is now every 10 minutes to your walk, you'll stumble upon the underground station. A vast network of intersecting lines as a spider's web, will help you easily get to any place in Paris with a maximum of one change. 
Time interval between stations is equal to an average of 1 minute, so when you know your destination, you can easily calculate the time for you to get it. Calculate the number of stations, add 10 minutes per shift and 3-5 minutes of waiting a train, so you get the net time of your journey. But do not forget that you still have to get to the subway station. 
This is the most reliable and fastest mode of transportation you can use from 5.30 to 0.50 or to 1.20 (on some routes), although there is a schedule of trains at each station and you can always be aware of. 

Metro truly secure all other terrestrial modes of transport, because there are no traffic jams and traffic lights and the only thing that may surprise you to prevent this accident or a strike of the subway (the truth of it is usually known for several weeks). 
The fare on the subway 1.40 euros, but to save you can buy a set of 10 tickets for 10.50 euros, or buy a single pass for the day for 5.50. tickets purchased in the subway is valid also for travel in the bus. 
Buses in Paris as well to the movement, first, because when you travel you can enjoy beautiful views of city, and secondly, they use the traffic lane roads separately identified and so rarely get in the stoppers. 
However, you can get vprosak, looking for the bus stop, because they do not always stop to the various strands of the same route, are located opposite each other, that traditionally in Russia. So, that would not waste your time or ask about the location of the stops on the plan, or ask passers (not only in German). 

However, if public transport is not your destiny and you prefer a taxi, you will have to abandon the habit barsky vzmahivat right hand, with the first desire to catch the car. To begin with, the private izvoz in France as there is no phenomenon of this, you will need to use the machine with your friends from childhood checkered. But these machines, you hardly you will find some just anywhere, though, of course, you can try through 30-40 minutes, you may be lucky, and yet a lot easier to find the taxi stand, which is marked by special signs and, in order «live» in the queue to get near the car. And it is worth it, because you'll be rewarded with a trip in the car of one of the latest models, the leading auto manufacturers. 

Taxi rates vary by day and night, but the landing is always 2 euros, and then it all depends on the route, but on average, half of Paris, you can pass for 15 euros. Target yourself. 
The road to the airport will cost you between 35 and 50 euros if you do not reach the cork. Avoid unpleasant surprises on the way to the airport will help you special buses. They depart from the Opera and from the area of Charles de Gaulle (where was erected the Arch of Triumph). 
The second version of the road to the airport without strife and adventure is to go there to RER. This high-speed subway, which crosses Paris in a few stations and are designed to be that you could fall into the so-called «banle», that is, the suburbs of Paris, more simply, «Paris region». 
The most important thing is that the RER has its own billing accuracy and cost of a ticket depends on the zone, which is your stop, or better just to call the station and the cashier will sell you just the ticket, which will help you get there without any problems to the point of destination. 
And NEVER throw away the ticket, unless you went out again to the surface. In the subway, just because you can find controllers in the unexpected places, and RER, because when you exit, you will need to re-pass the ticket through a turnstile that would have opened it, and you can go. Fine for ticketless travel is 37 euros, and you can play as long as you want muffled-blind foreigner does not understand any language in the world, without money and relatives, without documents or with a crust-General of any troops, you still can not avoid paying a fine. You to the police station and find a way to pay. Believe me, if the BEST controller - it is the conscience, the most Terrible Supervisor - Paris. 
Happy you travel to Paris!
