RATP Group
The RATP Group (French: Groupe RATP), is a state-owned company (EPIC) that operates public transport systems. Headquartered in Paris, France, the company was formed in 1949 as the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (English: Parisian Autonomous Transport Administration) to operate the city's public transport system. While RATP's Paris-related activities are still a major part of its business, its operations have extended since 2002 with the company competing for contracts to operate systems around the world. RATP Dev, the Group's international operations and maintenance subsidiary, is present in 16 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America.

Today, the RATP is still responsible for operating most of the public transport in the Greater Paris area, including the Paris Métro, Île-de-France tram, and RATP bus network, as well as part of the regional express rail (RER) network. In the Île-de-France region, the RATP carries about 3.3 billion passengers per year. Its logo represents, in a stylized version, the Seine's meandering through the Paris area as the face of a person looking up.
In 2019, the Group's consolidated revenue was €5.704 billion; it employs 64,000 people. The company describes itself as the fourth-largest actor in public transport.
