Unlike the previous strike action which caused major disruption to business travel in the Ile-de-France region last February, the 25 March strike should have a reduced impact. The RATP published its 48-hour forecasts on Wednesday. These show normal traffic on the RER network and almost normal traffic on the metro. From " minor disruptions "will be limited to lines 2, 7, 8, 9 and 13other metro lines operating normally. Normal traffic is also expected on RER lines A and B, with interconnections maintained at Nanterre-Préfecture and Gare du Nord.
On the surface, however, the strike on 25 March could be more problematic. For one thing, 30% bus routes will be interruptedOn average, only one bus in two is operating on the open routes.
Tramway line T8 will even be closed. Trams 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 5, 6 and 7 will see their activity reduced by half, or even to a third of normal operation. " More information will be available tomorrow [Thursday]. "says RATP.
