STRIKE RATP. Dark day in perspective on the RATP network. RER, metro, bus, tram… Parisian public transport will be particularly impacted by the strike against the pension reform. Check the traffic forecast.
[Mis à jour le 17 janvier 2023 à 22h35] The verdict is in. It is without appeal. Thursday January 19, 2023, the day of the very first strike against the Borne government’s new pension reform project, RATP users are clearly invited to favor teleworking and avoid travel. Whether it is the RER, metros, buses or trams, the day promises to be dark in public transport in Île-de-France. Witness the traffic forecasts announced for the day of the RATP strike. While CGT-RATP had promised “zero transport”, the goal seems almost achieved.
In effect, lines 8, 10 and 11 of the Paris metro will not run, while 10 lines (2, 3, 3bis, 5, 6, 7, 7bis, 9 and 12) will only be open during peak hours. On line 4, 1 metro out of 2 will be in circulation at peak times and 1 metro out of 4 at off-peak hours. Only lines 1 and 14, automatic, will ensure normal traffic, but beware of the risk of saturation. As for the RER A and B, only 1 train out of 2 will run at peak times, where 1 train out of 3 or 4 will run at off-peak times. Users of non-underground transport will not be spared either, with 2 buses out of 3 on average and 3 trams out of 4 on average in circulation.
