Two trains out of five in operation
On average, only two out of five trains will be in operation this Friday, November 15th, on the line connecting Bobigny-Pablo Picasso to Place d'Italie, according to estimates from RATP. To make up for this, the transport company indicated that line 4 will be strengthened and that “ station agents will be deployed to assist .” Line 14 will also experience disruptions until December 19th, Monday to Thursday starting at 10 PM, but this is due to modernization works.

A series of social movements in the coming weeks
Several social movements are planned for the upcoming weeks. This Thursday, November 14, airline pilots' unions are rallying against new taxes proposed by the government, causing a slight disruption in air traffic, including the cancellation of four Transavia flights. On November 18, farmers will mobilize once again against the free trade agreement currently being negotiated between the European Union and Latin American countries. From the evening of November 20 to 8 AM on November 22, SNCF agents plan a strike against the dismantling of Fret SNCF.
The CGT Public Service, on its part, has submitted a strike notice valid from November 18 until December 31, 2024. From December 23 to 31, many laboratories...
Medical analyses could close their doors. The goal would be to reopen the negotiations on rates with the National Health Insurance Fund. For now, it's still difficult to estimate the impact these mobilizations will have on transport and life in Paris, but of course, we’ll keep you updated in real time.
