The Paris buses are numerous and effective. The one most frequently used by the residents of the MEC is the PC. This bus, which passes in front of the MEC on the boulevard Jourdan, effectuates a complete turn around Paris by the former trip périphérique. The circulation direction of the PC (1, 2 or 3) is indicated through "internal circuit" (clockwise) and "exterior circuit" (counter-clockwise). The direction of other buses is indicated at each bus stop. Very close to the Cite, on the corner of boulevard Jourdan and admiral Mouchez Street, are located the stops for buses 21 and 67. The bus 21 has a interesting trajectory, crossing the Latin Neighborhood, the Seine and continuing through the Samaritaine (store to rays), the Louvre, the French Comedy, the opera Garnier, the boulevard Haussmann (the Printemps stores and Galleries Lafayette) and the St-lazare train Station. The same tickets are used for the subway, the RER and the bus. One can go from the subway to the RER with the same ticket (and vice versa) inside the metropolitan zone.
