The Minister Delegate for Transport Jean-Baptiste Djebbari did not advance Friday on the Christmas holidays, indicating that the transport offer would be strengthened during a deconfinement which could not take place until January.

He was the guest of Franceinfo.

"The traffic is decreasing now, with regard to confinement now, and it is obvious that if after December 15, or January 15, or at a date that will be defined for the new deconfinement", this "new deconfinement will be accompanied by a resumption of traffic, ”he added, referring to“ the precautionary principle ”.

"I do not predict at all what the situation will be after December 15, during the Christmas holidays and after," said Jean-Baptiste Djebbari.

"Either way, the train tickets, the plane tickets you buy today are refundable and exchangeable at no cost," he noted.

"The French, they are waiting, and I think they will wait for the Christmas holidays as for the summer holidays," he noted, recalling that the majority of people had then bought their tickets at the last moment.

SNCF has again reduced its offer since Wednesday, planning to cut 70% of its TGV.

She does not rule out "additional adaptations" next week.
