A central hub of the national rail network, Paris's six major railway stations ([[Gare du Nord]], [[Gare de l'Est]], [[Gare de Lyon]], [[Gare d'Austerlitz]], [[Gare Montparnasse]], [[Gare Saint-Lazare]]) and a minor one ([[Gare de Bercy]]) are connected to three networks: [[high-speed rail]] lines ([[TGV]], [[Eurostar]], [[Intercity Express]], [[Frecciarossa]]), normal speed trains ([[Intercités]], [[Intercités de nuit]], [[Nightjet]], [[Transport express régional|TER]]), and the suburban rails ([[Transilien]]). The Transilien is the [[commuter rail]] network serving [[Île-de-France|Paris region]], through 9 lines, 392 stations and {{cvt|1,294|km|mi|1}} of rails.

Since the inauguration of its first line in 1900, Paris's Métro network has grown to become the city's most widely used local transport system. In 2015, it carried about 5.23 million passengers daily.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ratp.fr/en/ratp/c_5043/metro/ |title=Métro2030, notre nouveau métro de Paris |publisher=RATP |access-date=27 November 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160101095822/http://www.ratp.fr/en/ratp/c_5043/metro/ |archive-date=1 January 2016}}</ref> There are 16 lines, 321 stations (405 stops) and {{cvt|245.6|km|mi|1}} of rails.
