Yeah, right, only in their dreams, to serve their very local clientèle alone.
They've got a couple of seats at the Central Paris town hall because of Anne Hidalgo's nasty political deals.
I hope she gets fired by voters for the next municipal election for that crime.

That is not the approved routes of the Grand Paris Express anyway, thankfully.
Line 15 is already under construction. Don't worry, the actual route is further down south and is to actually serve the inner suburbs that badly need it. And the whole thing is mostly funded by the Paris region, thus by locals.
Minato and I posted the approved routes a couple of times above in the thread.

Mouais... There's a good sense of public services and wealth over here indeed, but if only the French had the same pride for their private sector and taxpayers that basically fund everything public in this country, and supported them with all their guts, the results would be more spectacular.
Disgusting politics just makes things much harder and slower than they should be here.
That's worse than annoying, downright criminal. Hm!
