There was an interesting report in Le Parisien newspaper last month that
said that dwell times had reduced on line 1 since it became driverless,
as passengers had become more disciplined because they knew there wasn't
a driver to hold the doors open for a bit longer if they were slow in
boarding.


Some drivers on LU seem to be rather slow to close the doors even when
there's no one left on the platform. They waste a good 5 - 10 seconds at
each stop which probably buggers up the timetable nicely by the time they've
got to the other end of the line.
