Workers of the Regie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP), supported by the unions CGT, FO, La Base, and UNSA, have announced the strike to improve safety conditions on the railway tracks.

The main focus is on strengthening measures to protect workers and passengers.

The unions are calling for infrastructure modernization and stricter safety measures in response to growing risks and threats.

The strike will cause significant disruptions in train schedules. Passengers will face delays and route changes.

Particular inconveniences are expected on the RER B line, one of the key lines for capital transport.

Passengers are likely to seek alternative routes, increasing the strain on other forms of transport, including buses and taxis.

Moreover, crowds are expected at stations and Charles de Gaulle Airport, worsening the situation.

Unions may also organize pickets at transport hubs, creating additional obstacles for passengers.

Residual delays and schedule disruptions may be observed after the strike ends.

French authorities urge residents of Paris and visitors to the capital to plan their trips with possible changes in mind and to seek alternative routes in advance.
