In response to the December 5th strike, which is expected to have a major impact on French travel, the government has thought of a plan for transport and continues to activate its networks. The political power will notably ask to privilege telecommuting and carpooling to limit the displacements.

ON DECRYPT

Faced with a strike that the Minister of Transport, Elisabeth Borne, judged "a little weird" Thursday morning on Europe 1, the government has considered a plan for transport. While it is presage of a highly disrupted rail traffic and a saturation of the road network, the political power will propose, according to the information of Europe 1, several solutions to try to counter the announced blocking of the country.

Limit your travels to the maximum

First council of the government: to limit its displacements when it is possible, by privileging the telecommuting, or carpooling. For those who will still have to travel by public transport, especially in Île-de-France, the Ministry of Transport is very cautious and does not risk any estimate of traffic. Only automated metro lines, lines 1 and 14, will work normally. At peak hours, there should still be some subways on some lines, like the 4 or the 7, thanks to non-strikers and some frames. Some buses should also circulate in the capital, and between Paris and the suburbs.

The government also promises to put pressure on the taxi and VTC companies, who may be tempted to overcharge the races in the face of the very strong demand expected on December 5th. But it is clear that the situation looks particularly tense for users. Especially behind the scenes, the government is preparing for a mobilization that may last several days. However, it should not appeal to requisitions, even if the Secretary of State in charge of transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebarri, actively mobilizes its networks for certain lines in the Paris region are compensated by private buses.
