People outside of Paris should take their car to the nearest Francilien/RER etc. Station.

Taking your car into the city is just a dumb idea

    Yeah that's what the city is aiming at.

    It's also what a vast majority of people is doing for a very pragmatic reason : RER A has the throughput of an 11-lanes highway (you can easily get to this number assuming that when it's crowed there is a 1500-passenger train departing each two minutes and that 1.5 people per car will comply to security distances).

    Sadly not everyone is equal, RER B (north <-> south axis) is overcrowded and has a lot of incidents.
