'''Noctilien''' is the [[night bus]] service in [[Paris]] and its agglomeration. It is managed by the [[Île-de-France Mobilités]] (formerly the [[Syndicat des transports d'Île-de-France|STIF]]), the [[Île-de-France]] regional public transit authority, and operated by [[Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens|RATP]] (with 32 lines) and [[Transilien|Transilien SNCF]] (with 21 lines).

It replaced the previous ''[[Noctambus]]'' service on the night of 20/21 September 2005, providing for a larger number of lines than before and claiming to be better adapted to night-time transport needs.

In place of the previous hub-and-spoke scheme in which all buses terminated at and departed from the heart of Paris at [[Place du Châtelet|Châtelet]] {{rint|paris|m|}}, Noctilien's new service includes buses operating between ''[[banlieues]]'' (the communes surrounding Paris proper) as well as outbound lines running from Paris' four main [[railway stations]]: [[Gare de l'Est]], [[Gare de Lyon]], [[Gare Montparnasse]] and [[Gare Saint-Lazare]]. In addition, these four stations are also connected to each other by a regular [[night bus service]].

Noctilien operates 53 bus lines over the whole of Paris and the Île-de-France region from around 12:30&nbsp;a.m. when the rail network and the regular daytime bus service ends, until around 05:30 the next morning when they resume service.<ref>Region. https://www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/en/the-network</ref>

It is made up of:
* 2 ''circular lines'': {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N01}} & {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N02}} running between Paris' major train stations;
* 6 ''transversal lines'': from {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N11}} to {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N16}} running between different suburbs of Paris via its center at Châtelet ;
* 21 ''radial lines'' (the other 2 digits lines, except N71) running between major Paris stations and more or less its near suburbs;
* 2 ''radial long-distance lines'': {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N122}} & {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N153}} (subcontracted by the [[Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens|RATP]]) running between Paris and its remote suburbs;
* 20 ''radial long-distance lines'' (the other 3 digits lines, except N135) running between Paris and its remote suburbs (with often a partly motorway route) and managed by the [[Transilien|Transilien SNCF]];
* 2 ''ring lines'' in the suburbs: {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N71}} by [[Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens|RATP]] & {{RATP Paris/transfer night|N135}} by [[Transilien|Transilien SNCF]].

[[File:Bus Noctilien - Gare de Lyon.jpg|thumb|center|upright=2.1|Several Noctilien Buses at Paris-[[Gare de Lyon]] hub bus station (Rue de Bercy)]]

Like Transilien, the name ''"Noctilien"'' is formed by analogy with ''"Francilien"'' &mdash; the French [[demonym]] for residents of Île-de-France.

==Line numbering scheme==
[[File:Noctilien N02 Vavin.JPG|thumb|upright=1.1|Noctilien Bus N02 at Vavin near Paris-[[Gare Montparnasse]]]]

Each bus line number starts with {{rint|paris|n|}} for ''Noctilien'' followed by a two or three digit number:

*2 digits starting with "'''N0'''" for the two "circular" routes
*2 digits starting with "'''N1'''" for the "transversal" routes
*2 digits starting with "'''N2'''" for buses running from [[Châtelet (Paris Métro)|Châtelet]] {{rint|paris|m|}} {{rint|paris|r|}}
*2 digits starting with "'''N3'''" for buses running from [[Gare de Lyon]] {{rint|paris|m|}} {{rint|paris|r|}} {{rint|paris|i}}
*2 digits starting with "'''N4'''" for buses running from [[Gare de l'Est]] {{rint|paris|m|}} {{rint|paris|i|}}
*2 digits starting with "'''N5'''" for buses running from [[Gare Saint-Lazare]] {{rint|paris|m|}} {{rint|paris|r|}} {{rint|paris|i}}
*2 digits starting with "'''N6'''" for buses running from [[Gare Montparnasse]] {{rint|paris|m|}} {{rint|paris|r|}} {{rint|paris|i}} 
*3 digits starting with "'''N1'''" for the long-distance buses running to the outer suburbs.
