This is Paris in the EU. Home to the densest (most stations per square mile) metro system in the world.
Trust me, you don’t need a bus, nor will you walk for 3 hours.
Don’t assume that every city in the world lacks resent public transport. That seems to be a uniquely American thing.
- ars 6y agoAnd you think other cities are not talking about doing this? Also, I've taken public transport in major EU cities. It's a miserable experience compared to less dense city with a car. It basically discourages me from living in a large city, it's such a terrible experience. Which is, of course, my choice. But I think lots of people are going to start making that choice.....
