	2 St-Lazare's Paris Train Station

	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.
	15 .
	16 .PP
	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.
	28 .
	29 .PP
	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.
	33 .
	34 .PP
	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.
