> Public transport in Paris is wonderful
Only someone who never lived in Paris more than two days could ever write this sentence. Paris’ subway is one of the worst in the world (often on strike, technical problems, stink piss, expensive, unsecure especially for ladies, no accessibility, etc.)
When I had choice to take sub for 40 min or walk 40 min to go to the same place, I took walking every time because of how bad public transportation are in Paris.
- stdbrouw 6y agoWell, I don't live there anymore but did a couple of years ago, and definitely for more than two days. If anything bothered me about the subway, it was the extreme overcrowding during rush hour. If you had that much trouble with strikes and technical problems either you were extremely unlucky, or I was extremely fortunate. Definitely cheaper than owning a car, too. Can't comment on accessibility. (There's also buses and bike shares, by the way.)
- Miraste 6y agoI haven't used a lot of subway systems, but worst in the world seems excessive. It's vastly better than NYC or London, at the very least. Breathing in the London Underground turns your mucus black. Exciting!
