The first MF 67 trains entered service on Paris Métro Line 3, Line 3 in June 1968, and became one of the biggest orders for the Métro, with 1,482 cars constructed.

At its peak, during the late-1980s and the early-1990s, the MF 67 operated on eight of the (then) fifteen Métro lines (Lines Paris Métro Line 2, 2, 3 and Paris Métro Line 3bis, 3bis, Paris Métro Line 5, 5, Paris Métro Line 7bis, 7bis, Paris Métro Line 9, 9, Paris Métro Line 10, 10 and Paris Métro Line 12, 12): the MF 67 also operated on Lines Paris Métro Line 7, 7, Paris Métro Line 8, 8 and Paris Métro Line 13, 13 (including the old Paris Métro Line 14 (1937–76), Line 14), all before the ...

Side Platform
A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform) is a platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform, where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two side platforms are connected by a footbridge or tunnel to allow safe access to the alternate platform. While a pair of side platforms is often provided on a dual-track line, a single side platform is usually sufficient (trains are usually only boarded from one side) for a single-track line.
