SNCF ‘nudges’ clients to behave better
The SNCF is trialling ways to ‘nudge’ users towards better behaviour in stations .
This includes signage telling people they lose calories by using stairs (to minimise anger on days when escalators break down), putting up ‘dead end’ signs to stop people causing a squash by going the ‘wrong’ way down underground passages or ones saying a tree will be planted each time they validate their Navigo pass... “We’re not lying,” the SNCF’s regional head insisted to RTL radio.
