Bus 351 to NationorPre-booked private transfer?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Pre-booked private transfer reaches Gare du Nord and Châtelet–Les Halles, on the right bank; the Bus 351 to Nation does not. Nation is inside Paris but on its eastern edge; the center is a further ride on metro 1 or RER A, on a second ticket.

The Pre-booked private transfer is quicker: 45 min against 1 h 17. The Bus 351 to Nation varies between 56 and 96 minutes.

Bus 351 to Nation: 07:00–21:40. Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night.
