  Operated by the RATP, this constitutes a dense bus network complementary to other public transport networks, all organized and financed by Île-de-France Mobilités.
  Other suburban bus lines are managed by private operators grouped in a consortium known as Optile, an association of 80 private bus operators holding exclusive rights on their lines. There are approximately 9500 buses serving public transportation across the Paris region, all operators included.
