Summary

Experimental 185 metre long high speed moving walkway on the Parisian Métro station Montparnasse - Bienvenüe (métro de Paris). At first it operated at 12km/h but too many people were falling over so the speed was reduced to 9km/h. It has been estimated that commuters using a walkway such as this twice a day would save 11.5 hours a year.
