the RATP provides for “normal” traffic in the metro, the RER A and B still disrupted

Traffic will be normal on almost the entire Paris metro network on Monday March 13, but the RER B will remain disrupted on the seventh day of a renewable strike at the call of the RATP unions against the pension reform. These are the forecasts announced on Sunday March 12 by the Paris transport authority.

[#MouvementSocial] Following a notice calling for an inter-professional strike day on 03/13, the #RATP provides for normal traffic on the Metro (with the exception of the #line3 which will be almost normal), Bus, Tramway and Orlyval.

On the entire metro network, only line 3 will be slightly affected on Monday by the social movement, with traffic which will however be “near-normal”, underlined the RATP in a press release. The circulation of the RER A should improve on Monday compared to this weekend, going from one train in two on average to three trains out of four. RER B traffic will again be “disturbed”, with an average of two out of three trains in circulation. The interconnection at Gare du Nord will however be restored on Monday, said the RATP.

“The bus, tram and Orlyval networks have been operating normally as they have for several days”, added the RATP. The forecasts should be identical for the day of Tuesday, with metros, buses and trams whose traffic should be almost normal, and an RER network still “disturbed”. Since Tuesday, the first day of the strike rather well followed, the situation has quickly improved for Parisian transport users, revealing a fairly weak mobilization among RATP agents, unlike the 2019 strike against the previous plan to reform public transport. retreats.
