The Professional organization of Transport of Ile-de-France , Optile , was born in October 2000, of the fusion of the Professional association of the Road carriers (APTR) and Association for the Development and the Improvement of Transport in Area Ile-de-France (ADATRIF).

This association gathers the operating whole of the private companies of the regular lines registered in the Plan of Transport of Île-de-France (more than 90 companies in 2005).

Whereas the lines of bus of the RATP irrigate Paris and its small crown, those of the companies of Optile serve primarily the average and the large crown.

STIF coordinates the activities of the whole of the actors of transport of the area, that is to say Optile, the RATP and the SNCF.
