Arguably the most popular is the Orlybus pictured right that goes to Denfert-Rochereau station a metro/RER station just inside the inner ring road motorway.
Orlybus is operated by RATP who run the local buses and Metro in Paris and you can use Paris travel passes on this service as long as zone 4 where Orly is located is covered by your pass.
The other service is run by Air France and goes furthest into the centre of the city stopping at Etoile (Champs Elysees), Invalides (Eiffel Tower) and Gare Montparnasse (a major train station).

All services run daily at least twice an hour between about 06:00 in the morning and late evening. Being vehicle based the services can be prone to traffic congestion delays, especially the Air France service that ventures into the centre. The Orly RER train alternative of course has no such traffic problems.
There is also a local Paris bus, route 285 that connects the south terminal of Orly with Louis Aragon Metro station at the end of Line 7. This is the cheapest bus option but is not a dedicated airport bus and can be crowded. It doesn't pick up from in front of the terminals either. Access to the bus stop is from within the South Terminal. It is signed, the route involves walking to the South Terminal's car park and descending to a main road that goes underneath the runways at Orly and by-passes the passenger complex all together.
Orlybus
Arguably the most popular Paris bus transfer option is Orlybus, operating to Denfert-Rochereau Metro/RER station in the south of Paris, just inside the inner orbital road.
In Paris the terminal is very easily spotted, a small bus terminus by the station and the other side of the road from Catacombs of Paris, a major visitor draw. At Orly the bus stops at both passenger terminals west and south, actually terminating at the bus station in front of the south terminus.
Buses run from around 05:30 to 23:00 from Denfert, starting from Orly about 30 minutes later. Frequencies are every 15/20 minutes with a scheduled journey time of 30 minutes.
Do be prudent and allow contingencies for unexpected road congestion especially at peak commuting times.
