Noctilien is thenight bus service inParis and its agglomeration. It is managed by theÎle-de-France Mobilités (formerly theSTIF), theÎle-de-France regional public transit authority, and operated byRATP (with 32 lines) andTransilien SNCF (with 20 lines).

It replaced the previousNoctambus 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 atChâtelet, Noctilien's new service includes buses operating betweenbanlieues (the communes surrounding Paris proper) as well as outbound lines running from Paris' four mainrailway stations:Gare de l'Est,Gare de Lyon,Gare Montparnasse andGare Saint-Lazare. In addition, these four stations are also connected to each other by a regularnight bus service.

Noctilien operates 52 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.^[2]

It is made up of:

• 2circular lines:N01 &N02 running between Paris' major train stations;
• 6transversal lines: fromN11 toN16 running between different suburbs of Paris via its center at Châtelet ;
• 21radial lines (the other 2 digits lines, except N71) running between major Paris stations and more or less its near suburbs;
• 2radial long distance lines:N122 &N153 (subcontracted by theRATP) running between Paris and its remote suburbs;
• 19radial long distance lines (the other 3 digits lines, except N135) running between Paris and its remote suburbs (with often a partly motorway route) and managed by theTransilien SNCF;
• 2ring lines in the suburbs:N71 byRATP &N135 byTransilien SNCF.

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

The time intervals indicated here may depend on the day of week since service is reinforced on Friday and Saturday nights and on days that precedebank holidays.
