I don’t mean to be vulgar, but the net effect is one group of people (those in Bordeaux or those in Ruffec) had to pay the price of a longer commute to Paris. In the prior this advantaged those in Ruffec over those in Bordeaux. Why was that any more fair than this? And, aren’t more people being serviced by this (noting Ruffec’s population is far smaller than that of Bordeaux). As these are situations of symmetry you have to pick a side to bear it?
