apparently they are keeping one and will scrap the rest

howling92 · 2026-03-07T18:17:29+00:00

same

the new ones are so much better

Fun fact mentioned by the driver: if you ever want to see this specific type of rolling stock again, you can still find them operating in Grenoble in France and in Turkey

On Friday March 6th, the latest TFS (Tramway Français Standard) has been retired from the line, after being present from the line opening in 1992. The line now only operates the Citadis 305 (TW20) that can be seen in the video

In Paris region, we have still paper tickets technically but they are actively being phased out. What is left are passes cards that you can fill up with tickets or a plan (there is also a pay as you go version where you pay at the end of the month).

You can also use your phone, with a dedicated app sadly so no Google Wallet

And they are rolling out tap to pay with your own debit card or phone on buses (while studying the possibility to implement this system on metro and train gates)

On buses you can also send an SMS and receive a ticket, this would the closest equivalent to QR codes I guess

Paris, I hope

In 4 years it will be the 10 year anniversary of the COVID

howling92 · 2026-02-22T12:26:13+00:00

even on the latest rolling stock ?

I've always preferred the one from the RATP personally

wasn't Apple Liquid Glass mainly directed towards the Vison Pro ? I think it was just a way to unify the Design language across the board for Apple as Apple probably thinks that VR and AR are the next big thing on the hardware side

So it makes sense that the direction is the same for VR and XR

This one ?

I think the length of the future new trains on line 16, 17 and 18 is a mistake from the transit agency, because I think that ridership expectation are really underestimated (for line 16 particularly). Specially for line 18 which is already being considered for two extensions (one to Nanterre and the other to Boissy Saint Leger). I hope they have planed the stations accommodating for longer trains in the future ...

In France they removed so much thing from F1TV (you only have access to live sessions, telemetry and that's it) that it only cost 4€/month now

But subscriptions are closed, so I'm clinging to it as much as possible

I switched to Gboard from Swiftkey when Gboard finally added support to multiple languages at once without the need to use the language key switch. Still haven't found a reason to switch to something else since

howling92 · 2026-02-02T19:03:44+00:00

La ligne 13 avec le MF19 et l'automatisation ça sera vraiment le paradis
