From this Wednesday and until Friday inclusive, TER tickets throughout the Paca region are half price. A measure taken in “the context of the fuel shortage linked to the strike”, specifies a press release from the region on Tuesday evening. “This exceptional measure makes it possible to offer an immediate alternative to the inhabitants who travel to our territory every day to make their daily life easier,” said Renaud Muselier, president of the region.
All users who wish to take a “round trip” or a seven-day season ticket that begins on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, throughout the territory, will benefit from a 50% reduction. These fares are available at all ticket offices, regional ticket machines and on the SNCF TER Sud website.
“Incomplete” measures for the RN
For Franck Allisio, deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône and president of the National Rally group at the Paca Regional Council and Muriel Fiol, regional councilor, these measures are “a train behind schedule” and are “incomplete and unsuitable”. “While the strike at Total has been going on since September 27, the region […] waited for the train strike to offer users an alternative to the car […]. In Occitania, it has already been a week that the TER are 1 euro for all, ”they commented.
In Nice, the increase in the frequency of public transport during peak hours, implemented last week, has been extended for another week.
