Europe 1 with AFP 7:02 p.m., March 11, 2023

Traffic will be normal on almost all of the lines of the Paris metro on Sunday, on the sixth day of a renewable strike at the call of the RATP unions against the pension reform, but the RER A and B will remain "disturbed", the Régie announced on Saturday.

And on Monday, traffic will be "almost normal on the metro and on line A", while line B will remain affected, the public company said in a press release.

[#MouvementSocial] Following a notice calling for an inter-professional strike day on 03/12, the #RATP plans normal traffic on Metro, Bus and Tram.

On Sunday, most metro lines will experience "normal" traffic, except on the 13 where it will be "almost normal".

In addition, line 9 will be closed all day and line 14 until 4:00 p.m. due to works.

Disturbances identical to Saturday in RER A and B

RER A and B will see their traffic disrupted in the same proportions as on Saturday: one RER A out of two and two RER B out of three will run on average, with interruption of the interconnection at Gare du Nord for RER B. The same scenario is scheduled for Monday for B, but with a restored interconnection, while RER A traffic will return to almost normal, as will that of the metro.

The circulation of buses and trams will not be affected either Sunday or Monday by this strike movement, assured the RATP.
