pulled out all of my autism for this one, as you can see

@ptrc Nice! Although the big Paris paper plan is nice, I would suggest the use of this one:
https://metromap.fr/en
It shows more lines (mostly those on the border) and is updated, which will soon be necessary since new metro lines will open soon.

Btw, if you're interested in those brand new metro lines:

The New Paris Metro Map

We looked at Paris from a different prospective and it inspired us to create this fundamentally new map of Paris metro system, regional trains, and trams

@rodolphe i've also got the รฎle-de-france paper map :3 and to be fair, i'm mostly using the paper ones as a shitpost

the metromap.fr one is slightly unintuitive to me though, at least on first glance, and i'm not sure why..

@ptrc For me the main reason to use metromap.fr is how interchanges are shown: for various reasons some stations are divided into several areas with long walking distance between those areas. The best example is Montparnasse Bienvenรผe: on one side there's metro lines 4 and 12 and on the other one lines 6 and 13. Those two areas are separated by approximately 400 meters, there's even a travelator. This important characteristics shows very badly on the official maps and is clearly visible on metromap.fr.

Random fun fact from the parisian metro: the station "Sรจvres-Babylone" is named this way because a long time ago there was two different stations, "Sรจvres" and "Babylone" owned and operated by two different companies. When all the companies were merged into a single one, those two stations were so closed they also got merged. Today there is a very subtle reference to this ancient times: in the station itself, the words "Sรจvre" and "Babylone" are written in different font size depending on whether you are on the part that used to be "Sรจvres" or "Babylone".

Oh, and between stations "Sรจvres-Babylone" and "Mabillon", there's a station that will not appear on maps: "Croix-Rouge". It was closed in 1939 when WW2 began and was never reopened since, mostly because it's very close to the other stations. Trains still go through this ghost station but never stop.

@ptrc i think my "hide duplicate departures" logic betrayed me and put me on a slower service :(

@bovine3dom @ptrc And I failed to realize you could simply walk to Perrache and make it in time
@HaTetsu it was stupidly tight, one or two minutes spare across thirty minutes
@bovine3dom @HaTetsu iirc there was also a bus that got you there faster? but i just clicked directly and didnโ€™t bother at that point :p
