Does The Redness Of The Pinguecula Go Away

WHEN THE TRAM IS EXPECTED

In the Republic Centre of December 17, 2010 that read, " As part of a regional strike Thursday, and renewable, adjustments in traffic are anticipated for TER this Friday. Shuttle service between The Aubrais Orleans and is therefore not assured. Armed with a ticket valid and composted station, passengers will be able to borrow free tram to reach the stations ".

This Thursday, December 17, I returned from Paris by train 16 arriving at 48 pm 16 h 47 in Aubrais station. A few minutes earlier, the controller announced that due to a social movement shuttles Care Orleans will not move and it is advisable to take the tram. Immediately, the train stopped everyone rushes to the station. Arrived shortly after, I find it unnecessary to enter the train is already full, like the Paris metro where everyone has his nose on the glass.

In coming to reaching I saw that like its predecessor, tram station arrives 3 minutes later. All is well. The minutes tick and then at the end of three minutes two lines side by side indicate that the tram will arrive. Alas, nothing happens. The next one is announced 12 minutes later. It's cold and drizzle and the minutes tick, while in face 4 tram stops. Total when I got into the train, about 20 minutes have elapsed, and it is already filled with passengers, so the journey will take place caught between the door of the train and a pram.

This is not the first time that the tram timetables are not met.

This situation calls for me 3 points.

1) Poor information.

At no time any message on behalf of the Community of Agglomeration Orleans Loire Valley has been communicated to all from the screen in the station. Nothing about the cancellation of the passage of tram and no word of apology. It remains to be seen whether the Agglo warned users to time direct, either by sms either by email (not e-mail as indicated on the website SETAO: http://www.reseau-tao.fr/ )

2) The lack of intermodality.

no indication that the times of the tram line A takes into account the times of trains at the Gare d'Orleans Aubrais or the Orleans station. And yet ensure a match with the tram for at least the main lines like Paris Tours Orleans or Orleans would be a minimum.

3) Sustainable development is a whole.

It is not enough to ride a streetcar on rails to have an ecological means of transport. The sustainable develop a brand. It is also necessary that punctuality is provided or failing that an apology or compensation users on a contractual basis. Is it still necessary that the price paid by users is affordable and is provided free to categories of users are most vulnerable. It is unnecessary to sustainable development if the officers SETAO do not have satisfactory working conditions (social criteria).

A word of conclusion.

On the website you SETAO reads: " Bus / Tram A: an efficient network ( http://www.agglo-orleans.fr/deplacements-urbains/bus-tram-9.html ). Besides the modesty of such a statement, look for the mistake! A
when a streetcar named desire?
