And for the other nights?

Since 2016, Île-de-France Mobilités has been engaged in an action plan for the development of the Noctilien bus network. This action plan, which aims to respond to the various reasons for travel (work and leisure), has already led to a significant increase in the transport offer: 25 Noctilien lines have been reinforced since 2017, for a 28% increase in the number of buses and a continuous increase in ridership of 25%. These reinforcements continued on all the lines!
