Another dark day on the rails. Traffic will be “very disrupted” this Tuesday on the RER network and “disturbed” in the metros, with an average of three out of five trains on lines A and B, for the 10th day of mobilization against the pension reform, announced this Monday the RATP. With regard to Ile-de-France transport, the SNCF announces “strong disturbances” on Tuesday.
As has been the case since the start of the protest movement, on this day of strike, the RATP “invites all travelers who have the possibility to favor teleworking or to postpone their trips”. Here are the traffic forecasts refined by the management this Monday, a few hours before the new strike.
