it has been popular for people living in Paris, but people from the suburbs who either have to transit through Paris by car or who have seen an increase in car trafic because people have to go around Paris aren't big fans of her; but they don't really have their say in this (because they don't live in Paris, they don't vote in the municipal elections)
- truculent 3y agoHonest question: for whom is it easier to travel into Paris by car than by transit? Having been to Paris only a couple of times, I found the transit options very convenient; although generally localised around the city center
- baud147258 3y agoI don't think there's that many cases, because going into Paris by car is such a miserable experience and most suburbs around Paris have a public transportation link to Paris (though some of the lines are unreliable and/or overcrowded). The issue is more from moving from suburbs to suburbs, which is heavily impacted by the reduction in trafic in Paris and the suburbs to suburbs transit is not well developed
