I was in Paris a year ago and the metro was such a joy to use. Way easier than the subway in NYC, cleaner, and the people watching was a nice bonus.

- wildrhythms 3y agoI disagree that it's easier than the NYC subway. The 'zone' system is complicated for tourists who aren't used to dealing with that. Contrast to NYC subway where it's $2.90 (formerly $2.75) to walk thru the turnstile and go anywhere. It seems like Paris is adopting a similar model which is nice to see. NYC also has nearly 170 more stations than Paris.
- dopidopHN 3y agoWhat is hard to use about it ? The machine or the teller will give you the proper ticket. Plan highlighting the zone are in every stations and cars. ( on top of the doors ) Not living there anymore but I think those zone are on the way out anyway. They make it more expensive for folks with less income.

- sn9 3y agoI was actually comparing both through the viewpoint of a tourist. Paris was far and away easier to navigate, even though I don't even speak French.
