Ten completely closed metro lines, others partially open, very few RERs, only one third of the buses in circulation, trams in the garage ... The RATP traffic will be "extremely disturbed", Friday, September 13, by a strike of a magnitude unmatched for 12 years.

Several unions, including the three main ones - Unsa, CGT and CFE-CGC - are calling for a strike against pension reform and for the maintenance of their special scheme.

Consequence: no subway on lines 2, 3, 3 bis, 5, 6, 7 bis, 10, 11, 12 and 13, warned the direction Wednesday.

On lines 4 and 7, we can count on one metro out of three, but "only during peak hours", from 6:30 to 9:30 and then from 17 to 20, said the RATP. Stations will be closed, such as Montparnasse, Opera or Gare de l'Est.

One metro on three during peak hours is planned on line 8, which will only be partially open, with metros only between the Créteil-Pointe du Lac and Reuilly-Diderot stations.

One metro out of four will run in rush hours on line 9, which will be open only between Pont de Sèvres and Franklin-Roosevelt stations on one side, between Nation and Mairie de Montreuil on the other.

For the automatic lines 1 and 14 of the metro, the traffic will be normal but "with risk of saturation", warns the RATP. The funicular of Montmartre will be closed.

On the RER lines (RATP zone), the traffic will be "very heavily disturbed", with trains "only during peak hours" and the RATP stations will be "closed outside these hours". At peak times, one out of three RER A and one out of five RER B (with interrupted interconnection with SNCF at Gare du Nord) are planned.

"Alternative mobility solutions" proposed by the RATP

The portion of the RER A operated by the SNCF will also show the same disturbances, the railway group said. However, on the northern part of the RER B (from Gare du Nord), managed by the SNCF, we can count "one train on two all day".

For the RATP bus and tram lines, traffic will be "very disturbed". There will be "on average" one in three buses running on the entire network. The management also forecasts "on average" every other tram on lines 3b, 6 and 8, one tramway on three during peak hours on lines 2, 3a and 5, and one in four during peak hours on lines 1 and 7 (on the latter, one tramway on six in off-peak hours).

The mobilization of the categories of agents who must declare in advance whether or not they will be strikers was such that the management had warned as early as Monday that "major disruptions were to be expected", inviting travelers to "limit (their ) displacements ".

"Conscious" of the difficulties that will be experienced by its customers on Friday, RATP has prepared with partners "alternative mobility solutions". It offers "30 free minutes" to its customers who will use the electric scooters Cityscoot self-service.

With the car-pool start-up Klaxit, it will be free for passengers and the RATP will pay a guaranteed minimum of 4 euros to drivers.

The group will pay half the cost of parking in the car parks of Paris and its region, through the start-up Zenpark.

Partnership also concluded with Kapten, a VTC platform where users will benefit from a 20% reduction in the price of the races.

Finally, with self-service Jump electric bikes and scooters, the RATP will offer two 15-minute trips.
