    "Le Vélib' a fait oublier les ratés de la politique des transports de
    la première mandature. Les embouteillages, la suppression des
    places de parking, les couloirs de bus, les travaux du tramway ont
    pourtant alimenté la grogne des Parisiens pendant quatre ans."

    I was just wondering what the main complaints were.

    Sorry - I skimmed the article too hastily and missed the reference. A friend
    suggests that there's a perception (among drivers, presumably) that many bus
    lanes were created primarily as traffic-calming measures, to reduce the
    number of lanes available to private cars rather than as a positive measure
    to improve bus flow. That would seem to fit with the list of inconveniences
    primarily to private motorists.
