life in slow motion

This day of national demonstration will cause disruptions in schools, administrations, public transport, but also at the SNCF. In fact, on average only 1 TGV out of 5 should be in circulation on the lines connecting Paris to Bordeaux, Rennes or Nantes. Same with the TER (1 out of 10 TER should circulate).

All major cities have already announced very strong disruptions on tram and bus lines in city centers. In Nantes, the tram will be suspended from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the city center. The cities of La Rochelle and Angers announce strong disturbances on several bus lines (less than 30% of insured traffic).

Many kindergartens and elementary schools will also be impacted. The city of Tours announces that 27 of the 58 establishments will be closed for the day. In Loire Atlantiquethe teachers’ union evokes the closure of 50 establishments everywhere in the department.

Finally, many public services should operate in slow motionas well as several companies.
