In October 1998, [[Paris Métro Line 14|Line 14]] was inaugurated. It was the first fully new Métro line in 63 years. Known during its conception as ''Météor'' (Métro Est-Ouest Rapide), it was the first of the now three fully automatic lines within the network, along with Line 1 and Line 4. It was the first with [[platform screen doors]] to prevent suicides and accidents. It was conceived with extensions to the suburbs in mind, similar to the extensions of the line 13 built during the 1970s. As a result, most of the stations are at least a kilometre apart. Like the RER lines designed by the RATP, nearly all stations offer connections with multiple Métro lines. The line initially ran between [[Saint-Lazare (Paris Métro)|Saint-Lazare]] and [[Olympiades (Paris Métro)|Olympiades]] and was subsequently extended north to [[Mairie de Saint-Ouen (Paris Métro)|Mairie de St.Ouen]] in 2020.

Lines 13 and 7 are the only two on the network to be split in branches. The RATP would like to get rid of those saturated branches in order to improve the network's efficiency.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}} A project existed to attribute to line 14 one branch of each line, and to extend them further into the suburbs. This project was abandoned. In 1999, the [[RER E|RER Line E]] was inaugurated. Known during its conception as Eole (Est-Ouest Liaison Express), it is the fifth RER line. It terminates at {{stn|Haussmann–Saint-Lazare}}, but a new project, financed by EPAD, the public authority managing the [[La Défense]] business district, should extend it west to [[La Défense station|La Défense–Grande Arche]] and the suburbs beyond.
