Wearing a mask and respecting the distance rules will be compulsory on public transport for at least three weeks after the end of confinement on 11 May. The announcement was made by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe on Tuesday. In an interview with the Parisian , the Secretary of State for Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, warned that non-compliance with the wearing of the mask in public transport could be punished with a fine of around 135 euros, to that date.
He stressed that the "police" would be responsible for enforcing this obligation, but also the security services of transport operators. “We will also give the specialized services of SNCF and RATP, which are Suge and GPSR, the legal capacity to carry out controls. And if necessary to put fines. People who want to take a VTC, a taxi or enter a station without a mask may be refused access. If they enter despite everything, they will be fined, ”said the secretary of state.
He indicated that its amount should be "something similar to that imposed in the absence of an exit certificate. That is to say 135 euros ”. "But it is not yet arbitrated," he added. However, “before sanctioning, there will be pedagogy. We will support users in the practice of wearing the mandatory mask in transport. We will make sure that everyone has one by May 11, ”he said. And "as for land transport, we will ask for the wearing of the mandatory mask on planes," he also announced.
