Service Interuptions - Interuptions du Service
4th January 2006

Every week the metro line needs to be shut down for various reasons, including vehicle malfunctions, or rowdy passengers, and also for other reasons, such as someone deciding to terminate their existance infront of a moving train. But whatever the reason, most people are in a hurry either to get to work or go home, so when the service gets interupted, this is when tempers fly, and people sometimes get hurt. Included in this collection are photos of people waiting for service to resume, and then see how fast they can pack themselves in when service comes back online.
