6 Ah! The \fISaint Lazare\fR train station. Emblem of the Parisian |
|
|
|
7 train station, and today still looking like on the painting by the |
|
|
|
8 XIXth century painter Monet. |

11 This typical look were somehow preserved regardless of the modernisation |
|
|
|
12 of the train equipments. Lately, new equipments have been installed to |
|
|
|
13 prevent fraud: ticket barriers are now surrounding all the stations and |
|
|
|
14 their surrounding, only letting those owning a ticket onto the station. |

17 Not unexpected from a train company for a country with fraud around |
|
|
|
18 10% on long train lines. Mr. Monet would probably still be able to come |
|
|
|
19 and settle down for painting the train station nowaday, although to the |
|
|
|
20 price of a ticket to anywhere. |

23 Yet the devices themself seems not of the greatest comfort to both |
|
|
|
24 fraudsters, beggars frequently coming where most passengers are, |
|
|
|
25 and legitimate passengers alike. While it might be improved shortly, |
|
|
|
26 there is an high error rate for passengers trying to insert their |
|
|
|
27 ticket or NFC card. |

30 In case of a misunderstanding of how to use these devices, the train |
|
|
|
31 stations are not overcrowded with staff to welcome passengers in need |
|
|
|
32 for information, and it would take a bit of time. |

35 Setting-up a new solution seems a difficult challenge, putting in |
|
|
|
36 compromise price to setup, comfort of use, reliability, finding the |
|
|
|
37 new staff in charge of maintenance... A reminder that technical |
|
|
|
38 solutions only solve technical problems. |
