For car users to switch to Public Transit it must be: Connected Frequent Fast Affordable and SAFE. Safety is real & perceived. Both important. Even old Paris station has the elements: Clean floors & walls High level of light No graffiti, yes benches, yes clear signs Doable! Fast!

Since 2000, Paris has seen vehicle trips drop by 50%, transit ridership increase 40% and cycling increase from 3% to 11% mode share with 50mi+ of new protected bike lanes. The City also added thousands of trees & "green streets" helping to lower nitrogen dioxide levels by 50%. 🇫🇷
