Express bus 9517 to Saint-Denis-PleyelorPre-booked private transfer?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison.

It is the northern end of metro 14, which crosses the center to Châtelet, Gare de Lyon and beyond, on a second EUR 2.55 ticket.

The Express bus 9517 to Saint-Denis-Pleyel is quicker: 42 min against 45 min. The Pre-booked private transfer varies between 35 and 75 minutes.

Express bus 9517 to Saint-Denis-Pleyel: 05:20–00:15. Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night.

This is IDFM's named replacement for the Roissybus, and it does not go to Paris: it ends at Saint-Denis-Pleyel and carries on to Argenteuil. Budget EUR 2.05 for the bus plus EUR 2.55 for metro 14 and a change.

IDFM advertises "un trajet direct en 30 minutes". Its own timetable schedules 32 to 60 minutes from Roissypôle to Pleyel, typically about 42, because the bus calls at La Plaine and Stade de France on the way.

It leaves from Roissypôle, not from the terminals. From Terminal 2 that is nine minutes on the CDGVAL first; from Terminal 1, four.

The EUR 14 airport ticket is not valid on it. Neither is the EUR 2.55 metro ticket you will need afterwards.

Unlike the official taxi’s regulated flat fare, this price is indicative: the operator sets it, and it moves with vehicle size and luggage. Confirm the total at the time you book.

At night the sedan is €73 and the minivan €124; the page does not say when night begins.
