Velib in Paris: Balance Sheet for First Year

"John Kane" a écrit:

I was referring to the article where it said

"Le Vélib' a fait oublier les ratés de la politique des transports de
la première mandature. Les embouteillages, la suppression des
places de parking, les couloirs de bus, les travaux du tramway ont
pourtant alimenté la grogne des Parisiens pendant quatre ans."

I was just wondering what the main complaints were.

Sorry - I skimmed the article too hastily and missed the reference. A friend
suggests that there's a perception (among drivers, presumably) that many bus
lanes were created primarily as traffic-calming measures, to reduce the
number of lanes available to private cars rather than as a positive measure
to improve bus flow. That would seem to fit with the list of inconveniences
primarily to private motorists.
