In 1815, you needed about one hour to go from Paris to Bondy. In 2015, you need about one hour to go from Paris to Bondy.<p>Our politicians prefer to revert to 1815, rather than to build modern infrastructure needed to transform the city into an efficient and modern environment.<p>(Now of course, teletransportation might become soon available to the masses and the problem become mute, but in the meantime, it&#x27;s a shame that one cannot travel faster today than 200 years ago; the newly installed and very expensive trams go SLOWER than autobuses (and bicycles at that)).
