Minato ku

A shooting not far of my home (in my suburb), this morning. One municipal police officer killed. This is the kind of thing I would not have imagined here, this is a peaceful area. Usually it is in Central Paris or in northern suburbs that this happen.

A service trains of the Tube, nice.

I have seen people smoking Crack in the platform of a Paris metro station today, during evening rush hour. More crazy, there were some transit agents in the train that stopped at this platform, they have seen it but they have done nothing (I hope that they have at least called the police). It is true that this area is famous, for the Crack smokers and the prostitution that goes with this but I had never seen it with my own eyes until today and it was in the subway. "Allowing" to have people almost openly smoking Crack in the subway and near children, it is shameful!

So, I have the game (it was on my postal box) and obviously the first thing I have done is playing. The Light rail of Los Santos seems less efficient than the subway of Liberty City. It is quite slow unlike the fast subway of Liberty City. This is like in the reality where New York City has a good rapid transit network while Los Angeles does not. Los Santos is less pedestrian-friendly than Liberty City, I could walk all around Aldeney and use the subway. I don't think I could in Los Santos. This point is also similar to the reality. Anwyay GTA V is really a great game, I will spend several hundred of hours on it.

I don't think so about light rail. It was not possible to drive the subway in GTA IV. The sole presence of the LRT in Los Santos is a great thing. In most video game depiction of Los Angeles, there is no public transportation except buses. I was disappointed by the lack of subway/LRT in the Los Santos of GTA San Andreas. An other great point to buy this game (even if I have already pre order and bought it). With all the ads, on the street, on subway, on video game stores, even on TV, I can't wait anymore. Give me a time machine!! To end this post

It is the same ads that in US but in French.

In Paris metro. There are also ads with Franklin and Trevor.

I wasn't disappointed by GTA IV, the game has a deep and vibrant environment. GTA San Andreas world was big but less lively. In GTA IV, you felt like you were in a real city. Combine the bigness and diversity of GTA San Andreas with the the deepness and detail of GTA IV and you will have a really good game.

Grand Theft Auto V adverts are everywhere in Paris metro.

How succesful is the Javelin high speed train? It is in service since more than a year by now and I had little information about his service. PS: Could you avoid to post too much videos by message. Pages then become very heavy and difficult to load. Wrote several messages if you have many videos to show us.

The last saturday, they opened a new metro station in "suburb". I wrote suburb inside quotation marks because Montrouge has 60,000 inhabitants per sq mi, so in reality this is more a dense inner city district that happen to not be inside the absurdly small city limits of Paris than a real suburb. Paris city proper is only 40 sq mile ! Smaller than the small city limits DC, San Francisco or Boston, even the the Bronx is larger. I love this new station, not only the station is beautiful but it shortens my commute of more than 30 minutes everyday !! This is just one new station but I don't have to be stuck in the bus in traffic jam anymore. This station was planned as far as the 20's, Montrouge has only waited 90 years to have its subway station. The modern planning and the construction of this new 1.6 km or 1 mile of line just took almost 20 years. When I see that in Spain (before the crisis) they could plan and build an entire line in just 5 years, I want to cry.

Ok this is why I couldn't activate it, despite what the game said. Don't worry I pay attention to the sign but I didn't undertand all of them. Many red lights had speed limit, this is pretty useful. Do you have a link where I could have the meaning of all sign ? I am more used to Japanese and LU routes. I will download the , what are the best routes ? (length, diversity, quality...)

I just played the (Coney Island - 179th street in express). It is good. The line is easy to drive even if there is many red light that made the trip not necessary smoth but I think that it is an overall case of the New York subway because of the numberous connection unlike other subway systems where line are more segregated. I prefer the underground section rather than elevated because of the level of detail. Elevated sections are not beautiful in BVE/OpenBVE. The R160 are easy to drive and have a good braking. I have just a question, I don't remember how to activate the ATS. It is a bit annoying without it because I don't always know the speed limit. My overall impression is positive.

Who can't stand tourists when they walk slowly in front of you? This is my case.

You can run at 24 mph. This is more than the fastest world record of Usain Bolt for 100 metre race. Even by taking the same number in km/h, these speeds would be quite fast but it would be more realistic. Are you sure that you didn't confuse mph with km/h ?
