PARIS : TOUR BUS WARS | M6 | 66 minutes

On the afternoon of May 28, on the Quai Voltaire in the 7tharrondissement of Paris, the unthinkable happens. A 56-year-old man is crushed to death in front of dozens of witnesses. The cause of the tragedy: an argument between the driver of a bus from a Paris tour company, CitySightseeing, and a car driver.  For years now, pedestrians, drivers, and even storeowners have been subjected to anarchic behavior: driving the wrong way, dangerous overtaking, obstructive parking, etc. Today, City Hall and the police have decided to deal with the problem. According to the Paris City Hall, buses from hundreds of companies are operating illegally. Taking advantage of hazy legislation, these buses set down their tourists in Paris wherever they choose or even use the lanes reserved for official bus companies.  This accident has rekindled the war of the bus companies in Paris!
