A bus driver was injured in the face in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille, this Wednesday morning, we learned from the Régie des transports métropolitains (RTM). The facts took place around 8:30 am, in front of the Lycée Nord, in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille.

The two men wanted to get on the bus with a refrigerator. The driver reportedly refused, which caused a scuffle. He was injured in the face. "It is a very problematic situation," we are told by RTM. The management wishes to remind that drivers are instructed to "always stay in their block, which is completely secure and that they are the only ones who can open. "

Half of the buses this Thursday in the northern districts

In solidarity with the injured driver, the other Marseille bus drivers exercised their right of withdrawal for two hours, this Wednesday afternoon. Traffic is still disrupted on Thursday: due to the social movement against pension reform, only 50% of the buses serving Marseille Nord are running on Thursday. 80% of traffic is provided in other areas of the city.
