He has changed over the years just like Mickey Mouse. Big deal.

Do you have any idea how much money it costs to change this drawing? Well, you will all find out when the fares increase...

I have never seen anybody - even children - pay attention to the message "Serge" promotes about not trying to board after the buzzer sounds or getting their fingers pinched in the doors. And since the automated lignes have been installed, it's pretty much impossible for anyone to lean over the tracks or do anything else those stickers warn against.

Thanks to modern technology, Serge will probably end up very soon on a plate in some bistro, swimming in a nice gravy.

I agree that unless a survey is taken of 3-5 year olds in the metro, the validity of the rabbit is completely illusory.

Actually I was having rabbit at a french restaurant in SF with friends we met in Paris. They had never noticed the Metro Rabbit, so I looked this up to send to them. The restaurant is in the Cornell Hotel de France and the dish is one of their best.

People are seeing less and less in the metro because they are transfixed by that little rectangle in their hand.
