Le Bus Direct (formerly Les Cars Air France) was a network of express bus routes operating between Paris and the two major airports in the region (Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport) and a bus route that connected the two airports. The service has its roots in similar bus routes that started in 1930.
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (IATA: CDG, ICAO: LFPG), also known as Roissy Airport, is the main international airport serving Paris, the capital of France.Opened in 1974, it is in Roissy-en-France, 23 km (14 mi) northeast of Paris and is named for World War II leader and French president Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970), whose initials form its IATA airport code.
Starting from the south (LGV Sud-Est), the line begins at Coubert junction and heads northeast.Near Tournan, there is a link to the Paris-Coulommiers line. Further north, Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy TGV station (transfer to the RER A) serves the new town of Marne-la-Vallée and Disneyland Paris theme parks.
Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle takes the majority of international flights to and from Paris, and Orly is a host to mostly domestic and European airline companies. A few low-cost carrier airlines, notably Ryanair and Wizz Air , offer flights to Beauvais–Tillé Airport and Châlons Vatry Airport , while marketing these airports as Paris airports.
The new station, Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV, opened on 24 November 1994. In 1991, airport managers and the Syndicat des transports Parisiens (the regional transit planning agency, now known as Île-de-France Mobilités ) begin a project to connect the terminals and rail stations with an automated rail shuttle service.
The line has far exceeded all traffic expectations, with passengers taking 165 million journeys per year in 2004. That makes the RER B the second busiest single rail line in Europe (after RER A). The line faces capacity challenges as a result of sharing a tunnel with RER D trains between Châtelet–Les Halles and Gare du Nord.
