Noctilien

Noctilien is the night bus service in Paris and its agglomeration. It is managed by the Île-de-France Mobilités, the Île-de-France regional public transit authority, and operated by RATP and Transilien SNCF.
It replaced the previous Noctambus service on the night of 20/21 September 2005, providing for a larger number of lines than before and claiming to be better adapted to night-time transport needs.
In place of the previous hub-and-spoke scheme in which all buses terminated at and departed from the heart of Paris at Châtelet, Noctilien's new service includes buses operating between banlieues as well as outbound lines running from Paris' four main railway stations: Gare de l'Est, Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse and Gare Saint-Lazare. In addition, these four stations are also connected to each other by a regular night bus service.
Noctilien operates 53 bus lines over the whole of Paris and the Île-de-France region from around 12:30 a.m. when the rail network and the regular daytime bus service ends, until around 05:30 the next morning when they resume service.
It is made up of:

2 circular lines: & running between Paris' major train stations;
6 transversal lines: from to running between different suburbs of Paris via its center at Châtelet ;
21 radial lines running between major Paris stations and more or less its near suburbs;
2 radial long-distance lines: & running between Paris and its remote suburbs;
20 radial long-distance lines running between Paris and its remote suburbs and managed by the Transilien SNCF;
2 ring lines in the suburbs: by RATP & by Transilien SNCF.

Like Transilien, the name "Noctilien" is formed by analogy with "Francilien" — the French demonym for residents of Île-de-France.
