Almost 50 cities in France have already done away with paid tickets... "Nearly three million people in France can now use urban public transport without paying a fare. That number is likely to grow after the municipal elections... given the proliferation of proposals to make urban transport at least partially free."

French cities' steady march toward free public transport

Ahead of the municipal elections, candidates across the country have promised fare-free transport. Almost 50 cities have already done away with paid tickets, compared to just six before the 2000s.

@Craigp I get the impression that there is always something slightly glitchy about the way things would appear to work.

I am thinking of my aluminium plant that I think has everything working but always seems to stop because it overfills with fluid.

@Craigp I think I found the AWESOME Sink was the valuable thing, because it allows you to keep more complicated workflows from blocking up due to too much of something going in on combined belts, the tickets were I bi product I wasn't fussed about. Though maybe the combined belts thing is me being lazy, and perhaps I should deisgn better.

I have made some really (in my mind) elegant little packaged factories. But for the complicated stuff I'm a mess! Still I love this game.

@hyc I think its perhaps a different thing. Similarly in digital construction which is my field, up until the first ChatGTP came along we had a long history of knowing we had crappy unstructured data and focusing on trying to move towards better structure and consistency to enable digital workload, but that just disappeared almost overnight with the advent of LLM.

@cwebber I thought you do an MBA to meet people you want to know. So a Vibe MBA would possibly be to meet people you don't want to know! Maybe even people who don't exist.

@futurebird I am pretty sure you can download food on to a memory stick and then take it to another microwave to upload.

@Geri @Lazarou you could say pretty much the same about the Greens, or Your Party attacking the Labour Party though. And I'm sure with Zac riding high its only a matter of time before the Greens attack Your Party too. Simply because one might be more aligned with the views of one or the other doesn't mean an attack isn't an attack.

@ChrisMayLA6 it might be fairer to extend that symapthy to other left leaning parties too surely if that is the tack one takes. I don't for example believe that Labour or the LDs would say that they would prefer to win by misleading voters, or actively set out to decieve about their intent. As reform have demonstrated it quickly becomes obvious that if you have promised to raise everything to the ground, as soon as you get into office reality bites.

@nicol @onepict @urlyman can you explain why all the bile about Labour "lying", "pretending" this site is real yet it is suggesting you should tactically vote Green... on the basis of small leads in two recent polls. Could it actually be sleight of hand by the Greens, after all politicians behave like politicians, whatever the colour.

@ChrisMayLA6 I agree, but I think my point is fair. I'm looking at a leaflet that came yesterday in Winchester saying the Greens are in second "In the City", this is not true its the Tories across the city. In the small print it says its actually the result of a single ward.

Its just an observation that despite the "we are different" rhetoric, the reality is the same selective statistics and games are played by all including the greens.

I preferred George Monbiot's hustings approach in Totnes.
