This is the new tallest skyscrapers of Paris. Tour First 231m, located in la Défense district. It took the crown held by the Montparnasse tower since 1972.

But Paris has malls and sprawling suburbs.

I don't want to be bad with you but please use real population numbers. NYC metro area = 20 million Tokyo metro area = 35 million The 12 million for NYC and 16 million for Tokyo, if I am not wrong, it is the population of the most central 1500 km² but without this mention your message is wrong.

RATP buses build before the 1990's used to have an darker green color but I live in Paris since 2002 and all the buees had the current green color. Ermont Eaubonne is an important suburban railways station in northwestern suburbs. The station is served by -RER C -H transillien network (Gare du Nord) -J transillien network (Saint Lazare - Ermont Eaubonnes line) 147. V2BN train comming from Saint Lazare terminal (J transillien network) 148. 149. 150. 151. 152. 153. View of the H transillien network (Gare du Nord suburban network) platforms 154. Z2N train of the RER C

And Paris ? Never forget Paris in this list... It is a bigger and more important city than people imagine.

That's a long time since Doc_fouallier last message so I will show you the next. The RER is an integration of a modern city-centre subway and a pre-existing set of regional rail lines. Within the city of Paris, the RER is as an express network with multiple connections with the Paris Métro. (A B C D E) The system have about 800 million passengers per year. The RER A is one of busiest line in Europe with over 1 million passengers per day.

No it is Atlanta the busiest airpot in the world since the end of the 1990's. In 2008 (change since 2007) 1st - ATL: 90.0 million (0.7%) 2nd - ORD: 69.4 million. (-9.0%) If it continue this trend Chicago O'hare airport will be the third busiest aiport in the world.

But billion of people are not jews, christians or muslims. For a large part of muslims and christian, Jerusalem don't really represent something.

Rue de Sevres Also the 7th arrondissement 137. 138. 139. 140. 141. 142. 143. 144. 145. 145.

If you want I created a specific thread to show Paris. Mostly the non traditional view. This thread include the suburbs, don't exitate to post in this thread. "The real Faces of Paris" https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=125&threadid=86698&enterthread=y I don't know if I already posted picture of beaugrenelle high-rises. The district is in renovation with the constrcution of a new shopping mall. EDIT : I didn't see that you had already posted in this thread.

If you want to impressed, see the frequency in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUtor-DtlYw Originally posted by: Merlin of Flyote My vivid memories of the Paris Metro the first time were:- Trains with rubber tyres. Gendarmes (Policemen) with guns. I'd never seen that before. it was 1965, I was 10 and you never saw Policemen with guns in Britain. Also the old fashioned open back Paris buses.quote> In 1965, the rubber tired MP59 train in the line 1 were new. These were the newest rolling stock at this moment. Today The MP59 no longer run in the line 1 (remplaced between 1997 and 2000 by the MP89) The MP59 still run in the line 4 and 11 but are view as dirty old train. These will be remplaced soon in the line 4. There is no longer gendarme in metro but transportation policemen, RATP security agent and military for terrorism prevention. The open back buses don't run aymore.

700,000 is a lot, it represent 14.5% of London workforce. You said that statistique about London are not incarurate but don't you believe that it is the same for every city ? It could be higher as high as 1 million but it wouldn't double London population in workday. It is Central London population that double in workday. In London you can't found stat about everything. There is stat for every month, every station. (By exemple according latest Transport for London figure I know that underground traffic decrease this year.) This is not the case in Paris where I hardly find any stat about the ridership of metro or railway stations. The only thing that England don't have is official metropolitan area unlike France or USA. Yes, home countries are include in the 12-14 million figure, as I asid before urban area has 8.5 million inhabitants. You don't need use higly oversized claim to prove that your city is great (everybody know this fact , yes I admit that london transportation is better than New York one. It offert better coverage, frequencies... The only better point of New York is the 24/7.
