Re: MP14; End of the Paris Door Buzzer sound?

When I first rode the Metro it felt like it was stuck in a time warp. The classic look of the stations and the old cars with the flip up handles, the buzzers (sounds like a basketball substitution) and the people all just seemed timeless.

When I went back I was shocked to see the new cars on the 1 line, the platform barriers, and the hordes of tourists that took over. And the last time I was there the cars even sounded the same as the NYC cars since they use the same propulsion.

But the thing that is still the same is the long walks to transfer. Chatelet-Les Halles makes Times Square look like a two step transfer.
