Twitter is going mad over this epidemic, most in excitement and good spirits about the incident. Some are worried that the attractive incentive may lead to more 'unexpected' delays by future travelers.
Paris metro was disrupted for 2h hours this morning for an unusual reason: the #birth of a little boy. Just born, he already enjoys free access to the #RATP network until his 25th birthday.
Under these conditions, we might see more and more delays due to unexpected births. 🙃— Mathiew Leiser (@LHmathiew) June 18, 2018
