At night, are all movements grey? The wild success of the Noctilien (+30% in 7 years) shows both the growing need for night travel by Ile-de-France residents, and the lack of alternatives to these night buses.
From midnight and a half, 48 Noctilien lines criss-cross the region: a world apart where happy revelers and workers stressed about missing their shift meet. Report on board these buses that never close their eyes at night.
During the day, women are in the majority on public transport. But at night, they are rather rare. The same is true for minorities used to being discriminated against. So would we be unequal in the face of these nocturnal movements? Interview with a specialist: Manon Marguerit is a doctoral student, researcher in mobility and urban planning.

At night, travel is also done on four wheels: VTC and taxis are faster and safer. But they are not within everyone’s reach. Testimonials from customers and Parisian drivers.
Every night, we would be between 2 and 3 million to move… while all the rail networks are closed. Can the Noctilien be further strengthened, especially far from Paris? And why not open the metro 24 hours a day? Truth interview with the managing director of Ile de France Mobilités: Laurent Probst.
