Tachibana KanadeI can’t believe the French have managed to make the Metro ticketing situation even worse, after I thought I understood it. Not only are they insistent on having their own special snowflake transit card system, now you can’t even buy single tickets, you have to buy a paper version of the transit card and then load tickets onto it.
And if you look confused for more than 20 seconds, a member of staff will come and operate the machine for you, and automatically add a thirty euro all access pass for Paris.
Mate, I’m here for two hours between trains and have a specific bakery to get to in that time, I’m not going to go and look around the Palace of Versailles.
