City of lights? City of crottes might be more appropriate sometimes.

I heart paris.

Sorry to hear it’s called Metro in Paris. Tube would have been better.

Stanley Milgram had a group of students experiment this in the NY subway back in the earl-70s and surprisingly more than 60% of the people would give in their seats.
Well, French commuters might react kinda differently.

backroads – we have ’20minutes’ and ‘metro’ here. Is it ‘Tube’ in London then? I think they are all published by the same (Swedish) company anyhow… No-one gives it out at my station though. :sad:

Mais je deteste le metro! Lucky for me I have a 10 minute walk to work each day. Sadly, it’s in Toronto, not Paris.
