At least the interminable Eurostar line has a pleasant view of Gare du Nord

Aside: you can play spot the dog here, and compare to the number of humans waiting. Whenever the topic of pets on public transport comes up in Sydney, people seem to imagine every carriage full of fur. But in places it’s allowed, I usually see proportions like this - perhaps 1-2% of people with a pet. And this is off peak - long distance lines at 11am on a Thursday. I imagine on commuter services it’s even lower.

@jroper that's interesting, so there is an actual debate about pets on trains in Australia? That is a very strange thing from my (Swiss) perspective. I've never even considered that could be a thought of as a problem, we've had this here for ever.

@mario_angst_sci Not really a active debate but comes up occasionally. Jennifer Kent has done some interesting academic work on it that went on The Conversation, leading to lots of comments but no political interest…
