Cultural Tip
In most French cities, especially Paris, bus and tram stops are equipped with ‘écrans d'information’ that display live departure times, service disruptions, and sometimes local news. When speaking to strangers or in a formal setting, switch the informal ‘Regarde’ to the polite ‘Regardez’. Also, note that ‘arrêts’ often implies ‘arrêts de bus’ or ‘arrêts de tram’, so you can be more specific if needed.
