Hi all!
Silly question maybe but.....
I've been using the RAPT app to figure out the best way to get from our apartment to Gare de l'Est early on a Saturday morning. It looks like the transit schedules are no different on the weekend than they are on a weekday because the trip planner doesn't ask me which day of the week I'm traveling. Do I have this right?

Merci!

So weird that that app doesn't ask the day of the week when creating the trip plan.

See if you get a different answer on a weekday vs. a Saturday or a Sunday.

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
