I'm not following what you mean. Could you please explain?Meanwhile, I'd been hoping somebody else would beat me to this :|
- leading by example, thereby demonstrating reconversion possible
- industry advancement
But reconversion's not ambitious enough, i.e., per Line 1's automation:
- the furtherance of the RATP
customculture at embarking on lucrative consultations- payroll eliminations
- union-busting
Thank you Minato.^^ I haven't heard of any renovation for the line 9 platforms of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Of course, I did that before asking. Your list seems incoherent and unrelated to the quoted post. If you would write in the form of sentences, your posts would be easier to understand.Just follow the links, mcarling
I don't know whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing. Even too much consultation would be better than complete insularity, repeating the mistakes which others have already learned from.Much of the RATP culture focusses on consulting other transit authorities (Montreal's one).
I don't see how these two things are connected. From my perspective as a passenger, the change I most urgently want to see from the Paris metro is complete automation of all the lines so that we can get to work without worrying about someone else trying to disrupt our lives in order to squeeze even more blood from the taxpayers. Compared to the importance of automation, I wouldn't care if the metro were to run on wooden wheels.I am merely coupling their rationale at reverting Line 11 to conventional traction to their rationale that probably explains why Line 1 has been automated.
I have no idea what you're talking about here.(Co-?)incidentally, I might be cheekily questioning the Republic's usage of the French term Autonome at naming its transit-operating authorities.
I have no idea what this has to do with steel wheels versus pneumatic tires. I don't care if the trains are built in France, Canada, Africa, Asia, or Antarctica if they are the best trains for the money.Furthermore, I recall a conversation I had with the wife to a brilliant engineer many years ago about the following LIM traction:
"... It's Canadian," I replied.[/INDENT]
"It's French," she quipped.
"It was developed by that Ontario crown corporation ... what's it's name [UTDC] ... "
"No, it's French," she snapped.
Globalisation's been around millenia (otherwise nobody'd have seriously bothered encountering the Americas) ... it's its muddling layers that probably confounds us.
Automatic metro can't roll without the system controllers in their places. So you're still depeding of metro employees.From my perspective as a passenger, the change I most urgently want to see from the Paris metro is complete automation of all the lines so that we can get to work without worrying about someone else trying to disrupt our lives in order to squeeze even more blood from the taxpayers.
True that's why in completly driverless network like Lille or Toulouse often shut down during strike.Automatic metro can't roll without the system controllers in their places. So you're still depeding of metro employees.
It's obvius that it's easer to negotiate with 2 employees instead of 40, but they're still there and they have more influence over the line. You could greatly reduce your worry, but keep a little bit of it.
