Paris speed limit falls to 30km/h
Here in Paris, it is becoming a nightmare.<p>The cityhall is led by incompetent and for a few years now they have started to do &quot;media visible&quot; demagogic actions without real thinking or discussion with the population.<p>For cars for example, they don&#x27;t really try to be intelligent and have the most efficient and fast mix of transportation. They just try to annoy as much as possible the car drivers even when it was not justified.<p>And now Paris is dying, it becomes derelict and ugly, and it is losing inhabitants every year. And let&#x27;s not speak about the abysmal debt that was created in a few years.
So much debt, in fact, that the city hall is not anymore able to pay for maintaining the city, like fixing pot holes and city furniture.<p>It is easy to think that the car is bad, and people are angry because they don&#x27;t want to lose their egoistic comfort. But here you should see the overall situation:<p>Except during the covid period, Metro and regional trains are most of the time in over capacity, late and unreliable. In addition to be dirty and sometimes dangerous.<p>With the stupid urban changes, the BUS are blocked by the car policies and not able to operate well, efficiently and safely anymore. (For example, having bus stop in the middle of a street in a middle of a busy bicycle lane).<p>Some commercial area are dying because no one away more than 15 minutes by feet could by anything there and be able to transport it back home.<p>And for bonus point of idiocracy, it is said that Taxi prices will raise a lot now, because the taxi fares are calculated like this: higher than 30km&#x2F;h, price per distance. Lower than 30 km&#x2F;h price per minute.
