In contrast to many other historical metro systems (such as New York, Madrid, London, and Boston), all lines have tunnels and operate trains with the same dimensions. Five Paris Métro Lines (1, 4, 6, 11 and 14) run on a rubber tire system developed by the RATP in the 1950s, exported to the Montreal, Santiago, Mexico City and Lausanne metro.
Paris Métro Line 14 (French: Ligne 14 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines on the Paris Métro.

As connecting the Paris railway stations was an objective for the Métro, an initial plan was to then run the southern circulaire from Place d'Italie to Gare d'Austerlitz, to Gare de Lyon, and from there operate along Line 1 to close the loop at Nation. But it was later decided to merge Line 2 Sud with Line 5, which was done in October 1907.
World of Subways is a series of subway simulations created by TML-Studios. There are currently four volumes. All volumes are standalone programs and cannot be modified. Each volume has only one route included with no other routes available, with the exception of Volume 1; however, the total amount of drivable track in Volume 1 is significantly less than other volumes with only 13.8 miles incl
Line 4 (French pronunciation: [liɲᵊ katʁᵊ]) is one of the sixteen lines of the Paris Métro rapid transit system and one of its three fully automated lines. Situated mostly within the boundaries of the City of Paris, it connects Porte de Clignancourt in the north and Bagneux-Lucie Aubrac in the south, travelling across the heart of the city.
Stations are often named after a square or a street, which, in turn, is named for something or someone else. A number of stations, such as ‹See TfM› Avron or ‹See TfM› Vaugirard, are named after Paris neighbourhoods (though not necessarily located in them), whose names, in turn, usually go back to former villages or hamlets that have long since been incorporated into the city of Paris.
The capacity of a complete train is 498 places including 54 seats. Unlike the MR3V/MR6V, with a width of 2.8 m (9 ft 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in), the MRV has a width of 2.5 m (8 ft 2 + 7 ⁄ 16 in), close to the 2.45 m (8 ft 15 ⁄ 32 in) train width of the older lines of the Paris Métro. The MRV will use third-rail power supply and its maximum commercial ...
