Jan 8, 2018 at 11:23 comment added gerrit @EricDuminil I'm sure it can be done with many tools, but in practice most mass transit maps have a boring blank white background, with a river drawn onto it at most.

Jan 5, 2018 at 0:07 comment added Crazydre @jcaron I'm 100% sure, as I live in Switzerland and regularly cross by bus (and have taken the train to Basel a few times). Switzerland does not give a toss about Schengen at the land border, and will check visas and Schengen stamps as well (as it's an internal Schengen border). France, however, rarely ever performs checks when entering from Switzerland
Jan 5, 2018 at 0:04 comment added jcaron @Coke immigration? Are you sure they're not french customs agents trying to prevent you from taking suitcases full of cash to Switzerland? There should be no immigration checks, and Switzerland hasn't invoked the "exceptional circumstances" for temporary border controls. France has, but they're usually more concerned about people entering than exiting...
