In 2019, RATP Group's consolidated revenue was ; it employed 64,000 people at that time.
In recent decades, the company has operated on an increasingly competitive basis as a result of legislative changes.
History
The RATP was created on 1 January 1949 by combining the assets of the ''
Compagnie du chemin de fer mテゥtropolitain de Paris
The Compagnie du chemin de fer mテゥtropolitain de Paris S.A. (Paris Metropolitan Railway Company Ltd.), or CMP, was a subsidiary of the Empain group that is the forerunner of the Rテゥgie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, RATP, the company managing ...
'' (CMP), which operated the Paris Mテゥtro, and the ''Sociテゥtテゥ des Transports en Commun de la Rテゥgion Parisienne'' (STCRP), which operated the city's bus system.
Prior to this, the CMP had absorbed the
Nord-Sud Company in 1930 and the
Ligne de Sceaux in 1937, which operated commuter rail to the suburbs. The STCRP had been created on 1 January 1921 by the merger of about half a dozen independent bus and
streetcar
A tram (also known as a streetcar or trolley in Canada and the United States) is an urban rail transit in which vehicles, whether individual railcars or multiple-unit trains, run on tramway tracks on urban public streets; some include s ...
operators in the Paris area. By the time the STCRP was merged into the RATP, all of its streetcars had been replaced by bus routes.
Shift towards competitive operations
A major change in French law came on 3 November 2009, when article 5 of the ARAF (French rail regulatory body) law came into effect. This law opens public transport operation to competition. The law was part of a broader push by the European Union to open all passenger transport operation to competition. Under this law, the RATP Group lost the exclusive right to operate all new public transport lines immediately. The company's exclusive operation rights for existing lines would expire over time, with the bus network going out to bid 15 years later in 2024, the tram network (Lines T1, T2 & T3) going out to bid 20 years later in 2029, and the Metro and RER lines out to bid 30 years later in 2039.
With the RATP anticipating this shift to a competitive environment, the company began to reorganize itself.
In the early years of the 21st century, a partnership with

In June 2024, RATP partnered with Wabtec to equip all its RER A trains with a new brake lining that eliminates 70-90% of the health-damaging fine particles found on platforms. Similar tests are being carried out on some metro lines. The same year, RATP and テ四e-de-France Mobilitテゥs signed an accessibility charter to make it easier for blind and partially-sighted people to travel on テ四e-de-France's transport network.
