RATP STRIKE APRIL 13. This Thursday, if the RATP unions are on strike for the 12th interprofessional day against the pension reform, the traffic of the metros, RER, buses and trams will however be almost normal.
[Updated on April 12, 2023 at 1:11 p.m.] The inter-union has called for a new day of strike this Thursday, April 13, 2023. Objective? Pressure once again as the Constitutional Council is due to deliver its verdict on Friday April 14 on the constitutionality of the pension reform bill. For Ile-de-France residents, does this mean that Thursday will be complicated in public transport?
According to the traffic forecasts announced by the management of the Paris transport authority, the strike against the pension reform will not be particularly followed. In its short press release, the RATP indicated that it “expects almost normal traffic on the RER network. The metro network provides almost normal traffic with the exception of a few lines”. Finally, “traffic will be normal on the Bus and Tram networks”. As a reminder, with the pension reform, the special regime of some 40,000 RATP employees is threatened, which represents 93% of the workforce.
The national strike movement against the pension reform joined by the RATP is “small in scale”. Only RER traffic managed by SNCF is truly impacted. See below the traffic detail by lines:
