Unlike The MTA the Paris metro shuts down at 1AM. So no one is camping out on the platform, for long.
And last time I was there the controllers were scanning passes quite frequently.
- tom_mellior 8y ago> So no one is camping out on the platform, for long. I've never been in the Paris métro after it shut down, but are you saying the homeless people camping in some stations in the evenings, wrapped in their sleeping bags, get up at 1 a.m. and file out? I somehow doubt that.
- ahakki 8y agoThey are kicked out. The doors are locked.
- iodbh 8y agoI have spent a couple of nights in locked metro stations myself : before locking, they just warn that they're going to lock. Whoever's still inside is locked in until morning, but there's no kicking out.
- hopler 8y agoUsing subway stations as shelters during off peak hours is a masterstroke of efficient infrastructure. Every city should do that.
- pelasaco 8y agonope, the right would be everyone be able to have a place to live. There is no dignity in supporting the poverty.
- icebraining 8y agoWhat if some people don't want a place to live, just somewhere dry to spend the night?
- yardie 8y agoThat must be one of the bigger stations like Châtelet. There are endless hallways and tunnels to hide in. A simpler 1-train station will have 2-4 exits and they will certainly put you out.
- kweks 8y agoIt depends on the station and season. In winter, station masters have a higher tolerance for camping - and it's worth mentioning that it comes down to the decision of station controller, not the RATP.
