Relatively speaking yes they do. Also the ancient buses on some routes are being replaced by much better ones now. I wonder how much faster they could have done this by not having to contribute to the trams.

The French RER system interfacing between Paris, the suburbs and the airports is pretty damn good.

No car - walk off plane, enter station, catch train to centre of Paris, enter Metro - done.

With Car - walk off place, walk to car, join huge motorway network.

EDIT Low cost too - RER from CDG to Paris and then 10 Metro tickets was under 30 Euro for two people in July.
