Valérie Pécresse (ex-LR) assured Tuesday that the SNCF and the RATP will go up “gradually”, by June 2, their “offer at 100% on all the lines” but that the priority will have to remain with those who work . "I asked the SNCF and the RATP that we quickly find an offer of 100% on all lines", explained on RTL the president of Ile-de-France Mobilités, before clarifying that this will be done “gradually by June 2”.
In the meantime, "we will try to put the efforts where they are most needed, that is to say on the 2 or 3 lines out of 23 the busiest," she added, judging that "Yesterday, it was generally in good conditions, with obviously some specific problems on such a dense network". On Monday, service was only 75% guaranteed at RATP and 60% for SNCF suburban trains.
Checks from 6 a.m.
"The limiting factor is the human factor because the agents of transport operators have babysitters to ensure and they also have health risks, that's why we are not 100 % today, "she said. But, even with a 100% supply, "there will always be a very strong restriction on the capacity of public transport", due to "compulsory social distancing" which reduces capacity by around 80%, a- she warned.
“The employer certificate [for peak hours] will be checked and filtered at the station entrances. The goal is, if you have no reason to travel, [that] you are not taking the place of someone who has to go to work, ”warned Valérie Pécresse, who asked that filtering by police and security forces start at 6 a.m.

"If we do not manage to ensure sufficient respect for social distancing, we are still under the knife of a closure of train lines or stations if they are too busy," she also warned. "I continue to call Ile-de-France residents to telework as much as possible until the summer, to save their transportation and to spread their arrival times at the office, this is imperative," she insisted.
