The Charles de Gaulle Express will connect Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport with the city center, starting on March 28, 2027. The train will operate every 15 minutes from 5 am to midnight, taking 20 minutes to reach Gare de l'Est. Each train will accommodate 420 passengers. A single ticket will cost 24, raising concerns about affordability. The project faced debates over whether to enhance the existing RER B line or create a new line, ultimately opting for a new line aimed at tourists.
"The new train link will run between Terminal 2 of the airport and Paris' Gare de l'Est station, linked to Gare du Nord via an underground tunnel."
"The Charles de Gaulle Express will run every 15 minutes, seven days a week from 5 am to midnight, taking just 20 minutes to reach the city."
"Critics argue that improving the RER B line would have benefited both tourists and locals, as it is often slow, overcrowded, and prone to breakdowns."
"The decision was made to create a new line aimed at tourists, despite the ongoing issues with the existing RER B service."
