This new station notably serves the Gustave Roussy institute, the first leading cancer hospital in Europe. Just imagine going to the hospital and getting your cancer treated all for €1.99, the cost of a metro ticket, as the treatment itself is 100% covered by the government.
🇫🇷🚇 Another massive metro station just opened in Paris! ➡️ Stunning 50 m / 164 feet deep circular design, crisscrossed by 32 escalators 🤯 ➡️ 100k users/day ➡️ Major interchange between lines 14 & 15 (each with 1M daily passengers) ➡�� Built in just 7 years

@CoolHandJakeGS France opened many metro stations during World War II, so it's probably not that dysfunctional

@alanthefisher Though, the HSR lines currently under construction in China, France or Spain incorporate new overhead wire technologies. Combined with the advanced pantographs used on the latest trains from these countries, these innovations enable regular service speeds of up to 350–400 km/h.

@ImogenForster2 Actually more like the Elizabeth line, but the fifth of its kind built in Paris.

@_edvward0 Multiple train types with varying door layouts run on this line, preventing PSD installation for now. However, the platforms are designed to be PSD-ready. PSDs are common in the metro though.
