Train sur pneus en caoutchouc?? QUOI S'AGIT-IL?? Où poster la prochaine station? Pourquoi est-il tellement sale dans le métro? J'ai honte d'être à Paris et tous les Français!

My wife and I traveled Paris in June of 2011 to visit her sister. It was the best vacation I have ever been on. It was also my first time on a subway (we live in Kansas City, Missouri and have no underground transit), and I loved the experience. We got really good using the subway system and used it to visit all of the sites in and around Paris. We WILL be back again.....I love Paris! Cheers from the U.S.

@SHHE001 it makes things less confusing, as then you are less likely to board the wrong train. Of course, you could cross the tracks and board the other train anyways, but that's less likely to happen.

@SHHE001 some stations have one platform, another have tow platforms with four tracks and very few one have just one platform and one track, you have to change of station to go in the other direction :)
I'm sure there is a reason ;)
Do they run on tyres?

@MrBJC1996 Some lines do, you can tell by the sound they make, a sort of swishy sound like a road sweeper!

Why Paris has two platforms, one platform per direction??? Why not only one platform with one track on this side and one track on the other side???

@SHHE001 The London Underground is the same & there can be many reasons why things got built that way, some of it's to do with being on viaducts or wanting to keep the track straight for speed reasons or other space constraints.

Paris was the best time of my life. I have a great interest in different types of subway and metro systems. This is the first time I have seen tyres on a train. I love France more so than my own country too.
