STRIKE RATP. What to expect for this new RATP strike this Tuesday, February 7, 2023? RER, metro, tram, bus… Here are all the disturbances announced.
[Mis à jour le 6 février 2023 à 23h11] As during the previous major days of mobilization against the pension reform, on January 19 and 31, this Tuesday, February 7, 2023 will be marked by a new strike at the RATP. Traffic will again be severely disrupted, at least as regards the metro and RER, because on the bus side, only slight disruptions are announced, and “normal” traffic is mentioned for trams. For the metros, on the other hand, station closures have been announced. Some lines should also run only at peak times, in addition to a reduced frequency. Note that on some metro lines, the last trains will also pass earlier than normal. Discover below, or using our summary opposite, the detailed traffic forecasts for the metros, RER, buses and trams for the day of February 7.

In addition to denouncing an “unfair, brutal and ineffective bill”, as the communicated published by the inter-union of the RATP, the striking agents intend to protect their special pension scheme, which is threatened by the reform of the government.
In a press release, the RATP inter-union called on “all company agents to continue and amplify the mobilization through strike and demonstration on Saturday February 11 to say no to this reform” of pensions. But in this same press release, the inter-union indicated that it “will meet at the end of February 7 to prepare the mobilization of Saturday 11”.
Friday, February 3 at the microphone of BFM TV, the secretary general of the CGT RATP-Bus, Cémil Kaygisiz therefore, unsurprisingly, declared that the strike on Saturday February 11 “is not settled”. The trade unionist was content to call for “mobilization” in the demonstrations planned for that day. On the side of the SNCF, the railway unions decided on Monday that they were not going to strike on Saturday, contenting themselves with simply calling to participate in the demonstrations.
