    Gare de Lyon yesterday evening at 6pm: when you design the waiting spaces so poorly it quickly crumbles at every disruption. Main hall completely overcrowded, it can take 5 minutes to cross it. People sitting on every possible staircase, along every wall in all levels of the station, or seeking fresh air in the privatized shops. Ultimately it&#39;s not SNCF&#39;s fault that fire damaged the high-speed line, but the poor space design is SNCF Gare &amp; Connections&#39; fault. #canicule #SNCF #S...

    RE: https://masto.nu/@MoveTheNeedle/116487985065502837 @jon Good to know that 4-minute delays become 15 minutes at the German border because border checks are using outdated, fragmented, half-connected passport-scanning software! ๐Ÿคก /sarcasm

    SNCF, Renfe: you shall not bring luggage larger than X cm, you shall not forget your luggage tag, you shall not bring a knife, you shall not bring a plant, you shall not bring a chair, you shall not make noise, you shall check in 20 minutes in advance, etc. Switzerland: hold my alpine horn! ๐ŸŽบ Yes, trains can and should also be social and fun places!

    Interesting data point in @OlivierRazemon@piaille.fr&#39;s blog: 90% of car drivers (in a rural town in France) always use the same parking spot. Perhaps explains why removing a handful of spots at a hyperlocal scale often leads to very vocal opposition, even when at the scale of a city statistics show that car usage decreases, or when even in small towns there is approval for more pedestrian areas. Just not in my backyard. https://linterconnexionnestplusassuree.fr/2026/01/15/municipales-2026-c...
