The train has been part of the daily life of Essonniens for several decades thanks to the development of the RER B, RER C and RER D lines which converge towards Paris. In Essonne, no less than 71 stations are served every day by trains. The open data from the SNCF, compiled with others collected from the RATP, make it possible to establish a ranking of the Essonne stations according to their attendance in 2023.

Juvisy-sur-Orge and Massy Palaiseau stations in the lead

Like every year, the station Juvisy remains the station of the department which saw the greatest number of travelers pass: 35,396,457 exactly, or 1,921 times the population of the city (18,424 inhabitants).

Served by the RER D, the RER C and numerous bus lines, the Essonne station is one of the busiest in France on the SNCF network, ahead only of five Parisian stations as well as that of Lyon Part Dieu.

Behind Juvisy station, it is the station Massy-Palaiseau which, in Essonne, welcomed the most travelers last year.

To the 7,877,252 entries recorded by the SNCF which operates the RER C (and the T12 tram via its subsidiary Transkeo since December 2023) are added the 10,611,488 others recorded by the RATP which operates the RER B.

Around twenty stations with over a million passengers

The train station'Évry-Courcouronnesthe most populous city in the department, completes the podium with 9,895,865 travelers registered by the SNCF.

At the foot of the podium, the train station Corbeil-Essonnes follows that of the city-prefecture with 8,651,118 entries recorded.

Finally, Savigny-sur-Orge, finishes the top five busiest stations in Essonne last year with 7,223,917 passengers.

In total, 26 stations in the department saw at least a million travelers in 2023.

If the vast majority are located in the northern half of the department, which is very urbanized, the stations of Marolles-en-Hurepoix (5,667 inhabitants) and Bouray (in Lardy, 5,509 inhabitants) south of Brétigny, have also crossed this bar.

Six stations welcomed fewer than 100,000 travelers

Conversely, six stations in the department will have fewer than 100,000 passengers in 2023. The station Guilervalin the extreme south of the department, was the least frequented in Essonne with 18,093 travelers in 2023.

Like that of Monnerville which is ahead of it (22,380 passengers), Guilerval station is only served by trains from the TER Centre-Val de Loire network between Orléans and Paris.

Trains are less frequent there than in the other stations in Essonne, served by RER lines.

The other stations in the department, below the 100,000 passenger mark per year, are, for their part, served by the RER D: Boigneville (30,983 travelers), Le Plessis Chenet (35,394), Buno – Gironville (53,326) and Le Coudray-Montceaux (76,814).
