Default London Underground 'best metro in Europe'

What is the average speed on the Paris Metro anyway? It can't be very high.

Considerably lower than London (although "average" is a poorly defined
term in this context).

Line 14's average of 40 km/h was claimed to be twice the speed of the
rest of the Paris metro. I believe LU has an average of 33 km/h over the
whole system - although this includes non-stop runs over quite long
lengths of the Met and Piccadilly.
