No need to worry about the metro: the traffic is expected to be normal to nearly normal across the entire Paris network on this Thursday, October 2nd, strike. The same goes for the tram lines, where no major slowdowns are anticipated.
It's mainly the RER lines that you'll want to keep an eye on. Line D will be heavily disrupted, line E will be disrupted, and line C will have some light disruptions (just like usual). The RER B, often affected during social movements, should run almost normally within Paris, with some potential slowdowns outside the city.
Transilien and main lines: a few slowdowns
If you're heading out to the region, be aware that traffic will be slightly affected on the Paris-Clermont-Ferrand and Paris-Limoges-Toulouse routes. A few TER trains might also be impacted. SNCF Voyageurs will provide more detailed local forecasts on Wednesday evening.

National Education: lower turnout
On the teachers' side, the strike is expected to have less support than on September 18. The primary school’s leading union, FSU-Snuipp, reports 10% of strikers, down from 17.48% two weeks ago. It’s important to note that primary school teachers must declare their strike 48 hours in advance to allow for the establishment of minimum service for welcoming students in schools.
The Paris march will start at 2 PM
In Paris, a march is planned on the left bank. The departure will take place at 2 PM from the Place d'Italie (13th arrondissement) to reach Place Vauban, behind the Invalides (7th). The procession will pass through Gobelins, Port-Royal, and Montparnasse. So, expect some slowdowns!
