MF 67 (full original name Métro F er appel d'offre 19 67 ) - Paris subway cars with steel wheels, designed for use on lines with a standard track structure. The series has been in operation since 1967. This is the most common type of rolling stock of the Paris metro, now used on Lines 3 , 3bis , 10 and 12 . A total of 1,482 wagons of five issues were built, primarily MF 67 began to work on Lines 7 and 12.

On Lines 2, 5 and 9 were replaced by cars of the MF 01 type, as the age of trains reached 50 years. The trains underwent modernization from 1995 to 2007 (the last trains were upgraded on line 3).
Creation History
As a result of the successful conversion of Lines 1 and 4 to use rolling stock with rubber tires, it was assumed that RATP would upgrade all lines in this way. However, later this plan had to be abandoned due to the high costs of modernization. Therefore, there was a need to develop a new type of rolling stock with steel wheels to replace the worn-out wagons. The MF 67 subway trains produced in 1967-1978 were sent to replace obsolete Spargue-Thomson cars, and in the 1990s, the MA 51 series trains were displaced from line 10.
Modifications
The MF 67 has seven major modifications; two of them also had prototype prototype cars.
- MF 67A: 40 five-car trains, delivered on lines 3 and 9 in 1967-1969, decommissioned by the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s.
- Zébulon , a prototype compound for the USFRT, was used to train train drivers. In 2010, the train suffered as a result of a powerful act of vandalism, as a result of which, by 2011, almost all of the cars were written off, except for one head one.
- MF 67B: 6 prototype cars were released in 1968, were not in passenger operation.
- MF 67C: 68 five-car trains, delivered on lines 3 and 7 in 1972-1975, are currently decommissioned.
- MF 67CX: 16 prototype cars with a modified door opener, similar to the one used later on the MF 77 . Operated on line 9, currently decommissioned.
- MF 67D: The only modification remaining in service is the MF 67. There are 363 cars, traction in three- and five-car trains. From 1973 to 1975 they were delivered on lines 3, 5 and 9, in the 1990s, as a result of gears, they were distributed between lines 3, 10 and 12 (5-car trains) and 3bis (3-car trains).
