Paris bus routes - just returned Many thanks to all
I just returned from a week in Paris and had a wonderful trip. Before I left I asked for help with using the bus and got great advice and interactive website information, well, I loved the bus in Paris. The apartment I had was on the bus #69 route, along with several others, and it was so nice traveling above ground rather than in the dark hubs of hell on the Metro all of the time. I wanted to thank everyone for the encouragement, it opened up a whole new method of city travel. I also bought a Navigo Decouverte for the week and loved the ease of use, so much better than the single tickets of the carnet. Thanks to all.

I always recommend the amazing 69 bus. What a route!!! It is absolutely great, I do not know if I had the chance to tell you about it, but anyway it makes me happy to find someone that enjoys it as much as I do...

I just returned from Paris and used the bus for the first time. It was a much faster trip from Hotel de Ville to where were staying in the 6th. Although we were in a terrible crush of shoving people. I see the benefits of the bus but I must be a Metro rat because I love, love, love it and certainly do not consider it a "dark hub of hell."

Hopefully your post will pursade more people to use the bus in Paris. I finally tried the buses on my last trip and I kept wondering why I hadn't done that on previous trips!!! Buses are great and I don't miss the "disoriented feeling" that I get when I emerge from a Metro station.

The bus certainly can be uncomfortable if you are caught in the shoving mass described by Gomiki, but the metro can be tremendously overcrowded as well. I try to avoid the most crowded times, and an uncrowded bus is more comfortable and convenient for me than the metro.
Although there was a time I was a real subway lover, when I spent a lot of time in New York, I don't feel the love any more, and I find myself learning the bus routes wherever I travel.
