Wow I knew Paris had a weird bus numbering system but this takes the cake /j
Even still I find this a bit shortsighted. You never know if in the future there might be more than 4 billion bus lines and you run out of numbers.
Imagine if there's a very socialist world government that forces carpooling, so everyone's commute becomes a bus line.
Or if on-demand services count each route variation.
I would have thought that was Sweden, from the Swedish on the vehicle
Yes. But Sweden has a sensible bus numbering system so the joke wouldn't work.
