The Minister of Transport is calling for a rapid action plan from the SNCF, after numerous complaints against the presence of bedbugs in train carriages. Are our transports really infested with these insects, which are proliferating at high speed?
On social networks, images circulate daily: bedbugs, in transport. After the TGVs and the presence of these insects in several trains in recent days, some travelers say they are vigilant. “When we see the problems it causes if we bring it home, we would definitely prefer to avoid it.” confides one of them.
Change in the SNCF health protocol
Against pests, the battle is being organized. Clément Beaune will summon transport operators to “reassure and protect” users. Will the SNCF health protocol need to be modified? Today, in the event of suspicion during a journey, travelers are invited to leave the car concerned. TGVs are processed every two months. In the event of strong presence of pests, the train left the commercial service. The RATP, which manages metros, buses and certain RERs, carried out an assessment, and said it did not find any bedbugs in its equipment.
