Public transport in France

French people enjoy a great and reliable public transport system. They can do without buying a car, unlike the people of the US. Paris and Lyon, the two major cities we visited had very a good network of trams, trains and metro stations. The metros in France are so easy to understand that a foreigner, with no knowledge of French language could also travel comfortably to any destination of his choice.

The train platforms had a unique signboard that displayed the number of minutes left for the next train to arrive, and the train after that. This reduced the frustration of passengers and helped them manage their waiting time better.
