Never dared go to Creteil given its reputation. Creteil is pretty nondescript really. Think of a French version of Thamesmead. Northern and eastern Parisian suburbs are way more scary -Stains, Garges, Sarcelles, Aulnay-sous-Bois, La Corneuve... *shudder* Interesting. Guess which places I've been through on the Metro, suburban trains, RER and trams. I clearly have a "built in" crap places locator.

I've only visited Budapest once on an Interrail and it was just around the collapse of communism. We stayed in a local's flat overnight which meant using the 73 bus - run with Ikarus artics. It was very busy indeed and quite an experience given the appalling state of the roads and unsympathetic suspension. We did use the trams a fair bit and also visited the Pioneer Railway. Don't recall using the metro there. I have forced myself to use buses in Paris but many are very slow - their Central area traffic is far worse than ours or routes are infrequent (20 min scheduled wait for a bus up the Champs Elysees). Things have improved in some of the suburbs but they are far from the usual haunt of visitors. St Denis or Bobigny anyone? Never dared go to Creteil given its reputation. Creteil is pretty nondescript really. Think of a French version of Thamesmead.
